After the mods on the trailer and a final goodbye to my cute Kelpie pup, Chloe (see friends page), I head off to Newstead to perform at the Primary School. The kids at Newstead Primary School all really enjoyed the performance, ofcourse, when asked if they played a stringed instrument half the audience (80 kids) put up their hand.

The evening community performance in Newstead was wonderful. A rotunda, a park in a bush setting and the sun going down behind the performance created a magical experience for the 60 people who attended. Special thanks to Mike for organizing the concert.

Castlemaine was the next stop where I performed at Castlemaine Secondary College and Castlemaine Primary. Once again, the students were very receptive. My beautiful cello 'Pierre' was taken to his maker, Paul Davies of Arts Music, for some much needed and overdue repairs. Thanks Paul!

Then onto Daylesford, with a true 'Street Cello' performance on a Saturday morning. There were the brave people who came up for a chat, those who sat and listened and others who exhibited curiosity from across the street.

I'm now in Melbourne performing in Secondary Colleges.
