London to Hasselt

You find me in the town of Hasselt, about an hour from Brussels, where Johnny and I have just checked into our hotel. The other chaps will be here tomorrow afternoon, but both Johnny and I wanted to travel today and have tomorrow clear to get some admin done! We've just ordered our dinner (for me, chicken and mushroom pasta, for Johnny veal in a tuna sauce (gross!)). Life is good.On Saturday evening we were in Bournemouth talking and singing at the 43rd annual barbershop singing convention; it was a lot of fun - we learned a lot about the sacred art of barbershop, which is different in several ways from what we do, but also connected in several ways. Ellie came along to the concert too, so we took the chance to make a weekend of it, and went walking along the south coast the following day. For those of you who haven't been there, the Jurassic coast in Dorset is a wonderful part of the U.K. and a great spot for walking.Then today was a travel day for me, and now I'm ready for the coming four concerts - one here in Hasselt, then three in Hungary. It'll soon be time to start gearing up for my first KS Summer School experiences too. What a whirlwind term thus far! Make sure to keep up with us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
