I have been lucky enough to be playing the York Gamelan, Gamelan Sekar Petak (white rose, in honour of York’s white flower symbol) with a lovely group of people, some really experienced players. We are practicing for the annual concert in York which I’m so looking forward to. Recently I had a chance to return to the Hull Gamelan, Gamelan Kyai Sri Jaladri Nage – Rise of the Sea Dragon – which was the first Gamelan I played back in 2002. We had a Northern Gamelan Network session with John Pawson – so inspirational, wonderful sounds and lots of fun. What a fantastic day. And the Gamelan looked gorgeous under the lights…

I bet you had a great day. It looks great.
Thank you! I’ll be inviting you to join in a session one day soon!
