Between oct/nov 2008 for a six week period, in conjunction with Serious (music promoters) and as part of the london Jazz festival (LJF) 2008, I've been working on a vocal workshop program for two Primary schools in Barnett north london (Colindale and Holly Park) called 'Vocal Express', with up to 120 children teaching them the Art of Jazz and Scat singing.

This ended with a concert @ the Artsdepot with the children's Re-Written lyrics to standards like 'A Foggy Day In London town' and 'Pick Your Self Up' and some of the most adventurous Scat Singing i've ever heard and a fun time had by all.

My Trio was also programed to play a week later as part of LJF 2008! we had a soldout show with a lot of elderly folks in attendence. after the first solo voice piece i began to describe the process and the technology i was using i found it quite amusing how hip this audience was to this kind of technology! this is a newish venue with loads of potential for great live concerts in the future.
