Thanks Russell, Octobers a busy month for you.
Looking forward to seeing you in Manchester for Symphonic Rock. I have my ticket!! 
The Symphonic Beatles looks brilliant at the RAH. Sadly too far away.

Hi Russell: So what you're telling me is you won't be backing Katherine in Alexandria , Virginia on November 11th. I think you should rework that into your schedule , . Hope all is well my friend. Perhaps we'll meet again next year in Wales , fingers crossed. Steve

Hi Russell
Looks like you are going to be busy again in November. Thanks for posting your schedule.
Anybody who has the chance to see Symphonic Rock in Birmingham, I can highly recommend it. An excellent show, which I was fortunate to see at the Royal Concert Hall in Nottingham earlier this month!
All the best
Graham

Hi Russell
Thanks for December's schedule! Another busy month. See you at the Albert and hopefully we can meet up again.
Would like to get to see Elin Manahan Thomas at the Fairfields Hall, that looks to be a cracker and similar to the concert she did in Nottingham last year with the Royal Liverpool Phil. Carl Davis was conducting that night also.
All the best
Graham

| Haven't seen it mentioned on the forum anywhere but I believe that Russell was involved in Paul Carrack's new album "A Different Hat". Nice album
