A very warm and appreciative public

Thank you for all the warm contact with people of all kinds as they pass. The sound the clarinet was superb for most of the time. Only when a tentative approach with new pieces did the playing take a dip.

A lack of nervousness makes a marked difference to the playing. It's great to be aware that the performances are clearly improving. Playing without a a backing track went well . The accompaniment needs to creative and interesting - a lovely challenge.

Practise at home leads to a lovely interaction- young children are particularly curious.

Another £3 for the Lantern Procession! And great fun doing it. This is a lovely way of making contact with the public.
