Dubai ‘In Transit.’ An amazing line-up from Qatar to the Edgeware Road, the mountains of the Arabian peninsula and the streets of Paris…..no one can describe this music because, until yesterday, no one had ever made music like it. First show on Friday, a few photos to come too.

Just arrived in Dubai for 4 days rehearsal as part of the ‘In Transit’ performance somewhere in the city next Friday….we’ll find out where later on…..

Currently trying to think of a title for one of the tracks of the forthcoming single we’ve recorded with Fanfara Tirana. The original has two titles: ‘I will get my double barreled shotgun and go hunting’ and ‘Dear, dear, thin eyebrows.’ This could be a tough one…..
