It's been a lovely few days here in Melbourne. This is a vibrant and pleasant city, with a nice climate, friendly audiences and great architecture. Both concerts have been great fun, and the venue, Melbourne Recital Centre, is a world-class auditorium. The hall's designer attended last night's concert, and was so pleased to receive our positive feedback.

We've been staying at the 'Mantra Southbank' - a really nice apartment hotel, and we've had our own kitchens and washing machines. It has been a rare pleasure to do my own washing and ironing as well as a bit of cooking!! Simple pleasures, but like a home from home.

So now onto Sydney once again and to the Opera House, one of the world's most iconic buildings. More soon ....

A scene of domestic bliss at the Mantra Apartment Hotel!

  • We're heading home tonight after an incredible introduction to South America. Thank you to all who came to our concerts, and making us feel so welcome. Lst night was another reminder that we have a wonderful presence in this continent despite never having visited before, and we are sure that we can build on this first trip and return to visit even more countries! We now have a rest week before appearing as guests of the Finzi Society in Ludlow next week. read
  • We are in Rio! Another sell-out concert awaits us this evening, and then we have a rare free day tomorrow before our flight home to London in the evening. As one of the world's great cities, it's a real pleasure to be here for the first time. We know there is an incredible musical tradition here and hope to meet some local singers later on. No workshop here this time, sadly, but this trip has been a great success and we hope to be back soon. Rio is also a city that has inspired songwriters through the ages. Whether its "Copacabana," "The girl from Ipanema" or simply "Rio" by Duran Duran, it's impossible to be here and not have music in your head! read
  • Looking forward to our show in Frutillar tonight at the wonderful Teatro del Lago. One of the most beautiful concert settings we've known, and a full house too! So far I think we're all agreed that Chile would be a great holiday destination :) read
