I've been fortunate to work a few times with the utterly brilliant Toumani Diabate. One of the greatest artists alive today. Here's a couple of reviews from the Telegraph and the Glasgow Herald of our gig at the Celtic Connections Festival.

Busy autumn
A fantastically busy Autumn is now over, with particular highlights being lots of Beethoven, Sibelius's 3rd & 5th symphonies in the run-up to his 150th anniversary in December, and a fabulous festival of Robert Saxton's music at the RNCM. It was also great to visit Stavanger for the first time and see their fast-developing conducting programme.
