Thanks for visiting this page. I'm going to abseil down Manchester Town Hall! Nervous? Well, yes a bit, but not as much as I was playing Mahler 10 viola excerpts recently or standing in at the last minute at the proms playing Stravinsky's Firebird ballet ... after that it'll be a breeze! So... do come and support if you are around. I'm going down at 10.20 on 15th August. I'm really excited about abseiling down such an iconic Mancunion building! I'm also contemplating fancy dress, and for a short time I also contemplated doing something with my stunt viola at the top, but I think maybe I'll just stick to fancy dress! So any fancy dress ideas welcome!
