Hi thousands! I realise that you'll all have been marking time until my next post and that you've had to wait far too long but I've been very very busy! I'm still presenting Cita Ciega on Aculco Radio, I'm still in Heart n Soul, which hasn't exactly been demanding much of my time recently but will again soon, and I'm now in another band called Inner Vision Orchestra! The IVO, as I affectionately call it, is composed almost entirely of blind and partially-sighted musicians, was set up by master Indian musician, Baluji Shrivastav and is currently on a 7-date London tour. The next gig is at St Ethelburga's Centre for Peace and Reconcilliation, Bishopsgate, on 2nd June at 07:30 pm. The musical mix comprises a Bolliwood song, an Afghani song, w improvised pieces featuring me and classical pieces too. So you just can't afford to miss it! You really can't! Well, you can if you want to but don't, all right? If you can't make that one, how about eating in the dark? Now you know you sighted folk like pretending to be blind. If you don't, you should. Come and eat in the dark at Dans le Noir, 30-31 Clerkenwell Green, London, EC1R 0DU, while we, the IVO, entertain you with our eclectic mix. If you can't make either of those, well, you should stay in more. No, seriously, the last of our 7-date tour is in Nehru Centre, 8 South Audley street, W1K 1HF. Obviously we'll be going for broke and it's likely to be the best one! Can't be sure about that though so you'd better come to all of them! Lots of love, Rikki x
