Music, arts and festivals and competitions


Chorlton Arts Festival 2009 has begun!
I hope tomorrow is sunny and warm so that the Festival Launch events can be enjoyed to the full. Food eaten outside, people sitting around on the grass to watch the dancing and music. Standing around chatting and drinking, browsing around the stalls in the Arts and Crafts fair. Seeing people you haven't for a while and then strolling home, content with your little packages containing goodies and gifts and pretty things to take out and turn over in your hands and be pleased that you bought them.
So. Please be sunny and warm.

It did rain in the night and it felt good to be warm in bed. But that is today. Tomorrow will be different.

Hopefully see some of you there. I'm writing today. Second chapter of Leaving Coty having sorted the first chapter out yesterday. I've lost count of the number of edits. And pack up the props and stuff for my stall tomorrow at the launch. I won't have time in the morning.
Tonight, I'm going to watch a competition, The Rosamund Prize at the Royal College of Music in Manchester. It's a prize for composers. My daughter Genevieve is performing the piece by one of the students. It is a magical piece, the music haunting and suits Genevieve's voice perfectly. She dances too!
Good luck to all the participants.
