Well it's here at last!...Music for flute & piano by composers from 'The Composers of Wales'....there's a variety of music by living composers who live in Wales of are Welsh or have a connection to this beautiful land. The pianist is Andrew Wilson-Dickson & the CD is available from www.creighton-griffiths.co.uk at the really reasonable price of £5.95!

Andrew Wilson-Dickson & I are in the Studio at the Riverfront in Newport on Wed. 7th May performing a selection of pieces by British composers  from across the centuries for flute & piano......mmm...maybe that doesn't sound very exciting but believe me it's a really varied programme & it's only £4.50 (£3.50 conc.)!! It starts at 1pm...bring your sandwiches!

Actually this is my 2nd as the 1st disappeared when I pressed the preview button! Setting up a MySpace has tested my patience & taken a long time but I'm here now thanks to help from Huw.


I'm quite busy in life...I'm preparing 2 flute & harp recitals with Eluned Pierce & practicing some lovely Bach for a concert with another friend & flautist Laura Jellico. I'm playing some Elgar with the ESO next week in Worcester cathedral & some more in St Davids cathedral. There's some contemporary music with the PM ensemble  & some more educational concerts with WSO soon. The folk duo is enjoying some smoke-free venues in Wales & I'm looking forward to getting some scores to read for the BBC for some of The Proms in the summer.


Check out Frost at Midnight (they are on My Friends & theyreally are friends!)..I've enjoyed putting some flutey bits on some tracks of the new CD & I hope you like the track by Ben Heneghan from the Composers of Wales CD with pianist Andrew Wilson-Dickson on MyMusic...we hope to get a company interested in distributing it...watch this space!..I'll try to keep changing the track so you can hear more of these new compositions.


I'm still in Wales with son Kelan, walking my dogs up & down hills, swimming, trying to learn tennis & French (any offers of French holidays gratefully received!)


Hope to hear from you, Catherine
