Apologies!

My sincere apologies to all visitors to our web page for not having updated for so many months. Well... I must admit that I was really lazy and lost some focus. It could also be my medicine at work. Ever since my accident in July 2011, I had been having problems going to sleep and so in January this year, I saw a specialist and since then I had been able to sleep and sleep and sleep! This week I have been off the medication and have been having problems sleeping again but my mind is now over active! Anyway, I have also been involved with a new project - 'Simon and Friends' concert series. This series has a concert every 2 weeks and practising pieces for these concerts have been taking a lot of my time.

I hope to be able to put up all that has been missed as soon as possible...apologies once again.

News!

No.1 on classical iTunes charts!

Top Ten on the overall iTunes charts alongside the likes of Adele & Coldplay!
