Brilliant News, The Steve Martland Band and Music On The Edge
won its claim and succeeded in defending Hazard Chase Ltd's counter claim @ Woolwich County Court court this Monday October 4th. Hazard Chase Ltd (James Brown & John Willan are two of the directors from Hazard Chase Ltd who attended, Steve Martland and I were there as we had brought the case to court, Hazard Chase also entered a counterclaim) kept back money from last years Henley Festival concert because of an alledged SM Band debt to them from a performance in Australia in 1998. This was exposed in court as nonsence. After an 18 month fight the feeling is just a relaxed sort of numb. The full report from the judge will appear here soon.. Phewww
I'm off to Gigha (Scotland) this week-end to celebrate my
40th birthday. It's a beautiful island off the coast of the Kintyre peninsula, the local cheese is spectacular too.
Three new Uzbek works for the Delta Sax quartet arrived yesterday, the first performance will be back in Tashkent on 28th April 2005. Exciting to return to this amazing central Asian country. More details to follow with composer biog's
Back soon with more maturity maybe. Best, Chris
