A belated happy christmas but just in time to say to all my friends and work partners, happy new 2004 (in two days time!).

Updates: The Delta sax quartet's first term @ Kingston as Ensemble in residence has been much fun and by all reports a great success. Pete whyman has lead a variety of his 'ground breaking' workshops plus the quartet has been involved in demonstrating the finer points of the world of multi-phonics, slap tonguing (don't ask!?), harmonics etc. A full programme is being put together for Spring 2004 and this will (I promise) be posted on the performance page of my website

Steve martland band management (Music On the Edge) V Hazard Chase LTD to be presented in Woolwich County court in early 2004. It's an interesting process which I will report on once the legal process has run its course.

Ensemble Q new CD 'Untold' is now out, reviews to follow soon, it will be available on Amazon in the early new year.

New agents for Steve martland band in Holland and Italy. Again a full report in early 2004.

Saxophonic, efforts underway for a new CD to be recorded in Autumn 2004, early days but with luck this will be the long awaited CD of its own work, rather than under the Nyman and moondog banners.

I recently visited the British Council offices plus promoters in Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, Croatia and Slovenia (5 countries in 3 days!), spreading the word re- the artists i represent. I hope that this will bare fruit in the not too distant future....

I'm currently putting together a Winter newsletter, if you haven't signed up for this go back to my homepage and click on the subscription link. This will be out again in early 2004.

Best wishes, chris
