Just a quick message to all our fans wishing them all an absolutely fantastic Christmas and a happy New Year. Christmas wouldn't be right without presents and we're all looking forward to waking up to see what Santa Claus has bought us. Speaking of the big man, I found this picture of Father Christmas holding a cello and thought I'd include it with this blog entry. He's a bit creepy isn't he? Anyway, despite the fact he's verging on looking like the creepy doll from the Saw movie series (but just with a beard), he's holding a cello, so that's good enough for me to include in the blog!
I've was given an early Christmas present today - a musicians joke book. You will all have heard at least one guitarist or drummer joke in the past - there are millions of them - but this book has a whole chapter on classical musicians! How great is that?! So, in true Christmas cracker style, here are a few violinist jokes for you to savour (sorry Adaq!)
Q: How can you tell if a violin is out of tune?A: The bow is moving
Q: What does a violin and a lawsuit have in common?
A: Everyone is pleased when the case is closed
Q: What is the difference between a violinist and a dog?
A: A dog knows when to stop scratching
...and I couldn't let our cellists get away scot free could I?
Q: Why was the cellist staring at the orange juice bottle?
A: Because the label said concentrate
Q: How do you get a cello to sound beautiful
A: Sell it and buy a violin
So that's it from us for 2010! For those of you who live near London our first gig of the year is on Thursday 6 January in the basement bar of 4 Denmark St in the West End (the Alley Cat Club). More details can be found on our band page tab on our Facebook profile. It'll be great to see some of you there.
