It’s going to go quiet on the blog for the next couple of weeks. Firstly, I’ll be taking a break in Cornwall. I’ll be playing mandolin in the production of The True Story of Martin Guerre taking place at the Minack theatre. If you’re local or on holiday there, pop by and say ‘hi’. If you’re not in the locality, you can still keep tabs on me using the Minack webcam. You’ll be looking for the bloke who looks like an extra from Lord of the Rings.

Then I’ll be in Ireland for The Sun Kings lecture tour.  I’ll also be on Ireland’s TV3’s breakfast show on Monday morning around 7:45am.

I’ll be back at my desk 20 August.
