Judith Hall (flute) with Craig Ogden (guitar)
Sherwell United Church - 22/09/11
First-rate recital will be hard act to follow
Top flautist, Judith Hall, and classical guitarist, Craig Ogden, both originally from Australia, made a welcome city return for a delightful concert in the Plymouth City Museum & Art Gallery International Lunchtime Series, temporarily held at Sherwell United Church. For their encore, which the packed audience demanded, they played my own Matilda Goes Walkabout! Judy wrote:
'You'll be glad to hear that Matilda was also a huge success in Macclesfield, and she will be heard elsewhere this week. So thank you once again!'

Eclectica!
City Museum & Art Gallery - 23/04/09
An unforgettable finale to concert season
Eclectica! is a fabulous quartet combining the best of classical music and jazz. It keeps the first violin and cello of the string quartet, replacing viola and cello with jazz guitars. Top British violinist, Lizzie Ball, combines with the jazz virtuosity of guitarists, Pete Oxley, Nic Meier, and cellist, Bernard Gregor-Smith. Lizzie wrote:
'Thank you so so much for the wonderful review, and for plugging us as a group, it's so appreciated and very rare that people like yourself exist in this business!'
