It was off down to Brighton for filming of Marta and her dancers on a very chilly Sunday afternoon for the video 'Mixed Emotions'.  Fortunately, filming had finished and on the way back before the 'Beast from the East' reached our shores later that evening.  Despite the cold, the dancers were in good spirit and smiled  throughout the video shoot.

Work commences on the music arrangement for Track No.1. Practice sessions for this particular track begin with my violin tutor – who has also agreed to add her violin (and cello) contributions to Track No.1 as well as other tracks on the Heartfelt Dreamland project. I’m very honoured and proud to have her ‘on board’.
