Technology hasn't been my friend this week, my blackberry gave up on Monday, my old laptop's battery just 'gave up' suddenly.
Although it could 'limp on' I decided to get a new laptop - a decision which took me about three weeks last time - took me about five minutes this time!
So far am pleased - but I've only had it for 24 hours!

Alice Farrow
A pupil at Bedales School from the age of four, Alice took full advantage of the opportunities it gave her, representing her school in all things Music as well as anything sport-related: Athletics, Show Jumping, Hockey and Tennis – there was a bout of 6.30am bread-baking but sadly not competitive!
Perhaps not always focussing on her studies, the highlight of Alice’s time as a Music Scholar at Bedales was touring Tuscany and Umbria as well as playing the part of Hansel in Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel at the opening of the Bedales Theatre in 1997.
Throughout Bedales, Alice was an active member of St. Peter’s Church Choir as well as joining Musica Sacra, The Highlights and The Petersfield Choral Society, before going on to study Music at Newcastle University.
After a firm grounding in vocal technique from Philip Guy Bromley, Alice has also studied with Dr Alison Shiel, Jim Griffett, Keith Davies and taken part in vocal masterclasses from Emma Kirkby and Mhairi Lawson. Alice has sung all over the UK; including St Paul’s Cathedral and Westminster Abbey as well as to Royalty (now that’s a story!).
Alice works for herself as a PR consultant with an eclectic mix of clients from Night Clubs to Military Charities.

Accompanist
Nick Gleed
Director of Music at Bedales School
Nick once travelled to Newcastle twice (over 1000 miles) to accompany Alice for her two final recitals at Newcastle University, something which Alice is eternally grateful for.
Nick’s approach to teaching, belief in his students’ abilities and formidable repertoire meant that Alice left Bedales and embarked on the philosophical aspect of a music degree without the sheer mystification of many of her fellow students!

Where did the first two months of this year go?
Work is very hectic - which is excellent.
I now have five clients (well four, but I count venues separately) and a couple of projects coming up - I might even need some help - which is very exciting!
I work for cherryjam London - a boutique nightclub in Notting Hill. I love it, it has excellent cocktails, plays mainly funky house and we also do private hire.
We are just launching a new Wednesday night 'Cool Soul' if you want to go, click here for the facebook invite. Lonyo is the compare click here for a tune you might know!
I also do work for some Military charities - the projects need to continue a little longer until I can shout about them but all very interesting and a good contrast to the club.
