Default My Naked Heart - at the Edinburgh Fringe

Yesterday - a splendid first ever performance on the Fringe of some of his poems. Duncan's verses sung and accompanied with an easy charm and the words carrying well - witty, sincere and evocative. Wish you had all been able to be there.

Congratulations and best,
Nigel

I was there! Singing, guitar and mouth-organ playing by our talented Duncan.

Yes, as Nigel says, it was most enjoyable - as was the visit to the pub afterwards!

Edinburgh is a beautiful city (but I won't say a word about the torrential rain, OK? )

Thanks, Nigel, Tim, and Jayne!

It went better than I'd dared to hope. I was lifted by my audience. A wonderful occasion. Special thanks to Jayne for seeing me through some shaky moments beforehand.

My cousin Steve recorded the concert that Nigel and Jayne were at and I've posted it on my blog.

Duncan, huge congrats! I am downloading the concert right now--it's taking a bit of time!--and I'll listen to it later on today. Thanks for posting, Nigel.

Just listened--my after dinner concert! This was beautiful, Duncan. I'm so glad I had a chance to almost be there.

For both Vanessa and me this brings back a very enjoyable afternoon. Our thanks to Steve for an extraordinarily good recording and to you, Duncan, for the poems and the music - an enviable combination of talents.

Best,
Nigel
