TRIP TO GREECE BY ULSO

What a fabulous week in GREECE, on Kithira, playing violin with musicians from all over the world. The Umhlanga Late Starters contributed 12 players.








BOOK SALES


Well during March I finally received the boxes from the Printer of my first novel, "Charlie Rightwood -A Right Mess". Being a self published book there were the odd errors. I advised all the buyers to focus on the story rather than the grammar etc. The response from the readers of the Book have been so encouraging. Almost without exception, the common reply was " I could not put the book down".
This has given me the motivation to continue with the second book, which will be a fiction story about the shocking murder of a nun. Will let you know the developments.
The picture shows an Emmirates crewmember posing with a copy of my book, purchased on a flight to Dubai.

POP TURNS 48 OR 49 IN CAPE TOWN






Spent 5 days in Cape Town so I could celebrate my sisters birthday with her as well as seeing how my mom is doing. Of course also to see my brother-in-law's new car.

BOOK WILL BE PRINTED JAN 2010

At last I have agreed a price with the printer. My first fiction book, Charlie Rightwood - A Right Mess (A journey from Tarshish To Ninevah), will be out by the end of January 2010. The final editing and layout is being done at the moment by a dear friend of mine.
It will be a proud moment as it has been just over year when I first completed the manuscript.I have tested the book on a few people and the comments have been positive.I have decided to sell the Book privately and will probably sell on request only.
To further improve my writing skills I am currently doing a one year creative writing course with the Writers Bureau in Manchester UK.This will enable me to become a freelance writer.

LLEWELYN UPGRADES HIS VIOLIN


After one year of playing I decided to upgrade my violin. Louise Pallet has a good friend in France,Daniel Soleil, who builds violins using mature wood between 30 and 40 years old.He lives in Vannes, Bretagne.They are copies of the famous Stradavarius. The sound is truly amazing. I enjoy this instrument so much.

ULSO CELEBRATES ONE YEAR OLD





The Umhlanga Late Starters Orchestra celebrated their one year in existence with a function at Dr.Naidoo's home in La Mercy. What a fantastic evening it was. Lovely food and lovely music. Louise Pallet has done a great job in keeping the dream alive.
