Planet Mad

Booking number one received for this Saturday: it's The Magic Flute, in Derby. There's a seat reserved for me. In the orchestra pit. No, it's not some dodgy deal to save money but instead a chance for me to whip out my all-black clothing ensemble...for the second time in my life I will be a professional musician!!!!!

I shall be spending most of Saturday doing some practice. If you are in the area, please cover your ears and run away. If you are in the audience in the evening then you will be able to identify me very easily: I'll be the one playing the wrong notes!!
