Dear Friends,
I am to say the least overwhelmed and very touched by the fact that I have had over ten thousand views of my concert schedule thread. My reason for creating it was to meet up with forum members who might be interested in concerts around the world that I was playing in, and indeed I have met SteveM in the States a couple of years ago and will be dining with Bernie and Pat Cicirello in Chicago later this month, having met them at Haywards Heath last summer. I also regularly have a drink with Graham in Nottingham, Gary in Birmingham, Len Woodgate in Croydon and am always delighted to see Phil and Gaynor in the Crawley Hawth or at a local Sussex pub for dinner. Such great company.
It is always an enormous pleasure to meet people around the globe who share our common interest and admiration for a unique and special lady. In my many years as a professional orchestral player I have worked with some of the greatest artists in the world, and some of the most popular performers in the pop and crossover genre, many of whom, I am not ashamed to say, I can only describe as the most appaling rubbish. But Katherine Jenkins is in a class of her own, as a voice with such heart rending emotion, an intimate and loving personality that seems to reach each member of an audience individualy. Not forgetting of course that she's isn't bad looking either! But that is only on the surface. Many famous people are beautiful to look at, but underneath? Well, enough said.
I am still, like many of you I am sure, immensly saddened by the break up of 'Kath and Geth', two people who would have made a very loving couple and wonderful parents. Our's is not to reason why, despite press reports and speculation, but it is hard to believe non the less. I only hope that Katherine does not end up rich and famous but unhappy as many in her position so easily can. She above all deserves to be happy and fulfilled in her personal life, with someone who will love, support and wait for her.
With the tour starting tomorrow, I hope you will all give her the adolation and support she so deserves, I only wish I was there to join you and to play for her again, but I am as you know in America till the end of the month. You never know though, I might, if I'm lucky, turn up at one or more of the shows in February, we'll see, I've been booked for nothing yet.
So thank you all, and don't forget, if you're coming to any of my concerts let me know, there could be a pint or two in it!
Bless you
Russell.
