If anyone in the UK is interested, the Czech mandolinist Radim Zenkle is coming over from California, where he now lives, and will be giving a concert in Brighton on June 1st and a workshop on June 3rd. He's an extraordinary player who is said to have revolutionised the mandolin. His style mixes Czech folk music, European pop, 50s, 60s jazz, classical music and stray bits of American bluegrass and acoustic music. He's a great experimenter and has produced one album on which every track is in a different tuning - he must have been listening to Joni. Contact me for further details. Jacky
