Concertos scare me

I'm getting nervous.

I have a concert coming up in November, in Manchester (well, Flixton).

I am playing a guitar concerto.

Why do I get myself involved in these things???

Well, it's a popular piece, being Vivaldi's concerto in D - you may hear the slow movement a lot on Classic FM - and I am performing with the Rossi string quartet. Actually I have always wanted to do this, so it will be an ambition achieved; obviously though, I want to play it really well, and I suppose like many things I really want to do - when I get the chance to do them - I get scared!

The venue is a wonderful hall, at a place called Flixton House. The Audience can be anything up to 100 in number, so I am really looking forward to it.

Have a look at my website if you think you might be able to come (22nd November 2009, @3pm) - www.johngerighty.org.uk - and if you do, be sure to say hello.

Bye for now!!!
