Richard and I took our set of viols and everything else that goes with them to Greenwich in early November where we set up our 'music room' and prepared for three days of renaissance viol playing. In between the playing we performed(along with Vickie Hobson and Linda Hill) at a masterclass in St Alfege Church with our teacher, Alison Crum and then Alison and Friends( Roy Marks,Jan Zahourek,Ali Kinder and Ruth Fraser) played a recital on them of music for Henry VIII - called 'Very Perfect' - in the Admiral's Room. It's such a lovely thing to spend time with players of all abilities, with lots or little experience and watch them discover the special sound of Richard's viols on the music they were designed to play. He now has a three to four year waiting list for these instruments.......
