Here’s a view from the top of Centre Point, 385 feet above central London. I joined PARAMOUNT which is a fantastic private members’ club and event space. It’s right in the heart of the West End and is a great place for meetings or for a quiet coffee…It has a fantastic restaurant too!!!

Just had a commission in…A wildlife film about the giant octopus, which needs otherworldly and exciting music…All a bit hectic as I’m working in Dublin next week and have to work around that!!!

I’ve been looking at various computers and software for a new killer music laptop. The ideas is that it will be the centre of the main refurbished studio, but that it can also be pulled out and be a mobile set up for when I’m travelling. I’ve had a few interesting meetings which might mean starting work on things overseas and then finishing the recording at home, so this sort of set up would be ideal!!!

I’m also reading ‘Gestes Et Opinions Du Docteur Faustroll, ‘Pataphysicien’ in French…This may take some time !!!

Got upgraded to this lovely suite on my latest visit to Ireland. The Merrion Hotel is my Dublin residence!!! It’s a fantastic hotel with a lovely restaurant and bar in the cellars as well as a great lounge bar and the Patrick Guilbaud Restaurant which produced some fantastic vegan food for me.

Had a fantastic time and made lots of new contacts.

Lovely trip to Cannes for MIDEM. The first couple of days were a bit overcast and rainy, but the three after that were glorious!!!

Met many old friends and sub-publishers from around the world and made some interesting new contacts too. Good to hear that Artful is doing well overseas.

Found a fantastic restaurant called Festival (thanks to our Scandinavian sub-publishers) which is near the Carlton. Great food…Best spinach I have ever tasted and they went to great pains to make sure that my food was vegan.

Great visit to Dublin to promote Artful music.

Here is the statue of Phil Lynott just off Grafton Street.

Fantastic friendly city.
