I'm still in shock. I've just had a video chat with Caterina Lichtenberg - one of the top mandolin players in the world. She was absolutely charming and delightful. To top it off, Mike Marshall came on and had a wee word! Little old Nigel speaking with such giants - wow. I mean, wow!!!

It looks like for the rest of the year at least, there will be very few classes in 'real life'. Most of my scheduled classes aill be online for the next term, with the hope that things might return to near normal in the new year. This requires a good bit of thinking and planning. It's a strange new world...

Since lockdown started I have been very busy creating and presenting online classes, sessions and workshops. This week I'm on holiday. Heuch! I feel I deserve it... Anyway, I've started thinking about what's going to happen next, as it looks like much of my online work will continue.
I did two regular sessions which were successful, attracting people from places beyond Edinburgh and Glasgow (e.g. Philadelphia, Washington State, Nova Scotia, England, Ireland...). One germ of an idea is to develop the Wednesday Slow Session in a fun way: give it the name of a fictional pub, or a virtual tavern, into which people could drop in for a beer and a tune.
That's it - as I said, just the germ of an idea, which I'll be working on. Any suggestions, ideas or requests would be most welcome.
