Philosophising on Roxy's couch...

I can't think of another way how to spend a lovely evening other than amongst the best band mates in the world, with a bottle of wine, plenty of cups of tea, central heating and on a cozy couch in a quirky flat in the heart of the West End...
As I am plucking a Dobro guitar following the melody of the night, I am listening to 'their' conversation... how I love being the one-woman audience of a conversation between Luci and Roxy... What stuff they come out with, very inspiring indeed! From parenting and attachment theory to the best childhood memories, from Johnny Cash to Disney's Fairytales, from anecdotes about the Gorgeous Doro to the pleasures of one's secret world and positive thinking...
Definitely a piece of art in itself... I shall pluck a few more tunes whilst enjoying their stories...

In-Store Gig at the Apple Store Buchanan Street

It’s a Sunday afternoon and the Apple Store has a steady flow of customers browsing its shelves. For the first time the store has decided to offer a platform for acoustic acts to grace the ears of the local shoppers. Salon Society are a band playing the first event today and they appear to have caught the attention of both staff and shoppers. A small group gathers to listen to the bands interplay of clever harmonies and gentle rhythms in combination with their renowned catchy melodies. Guitar player Dorothee manages to promote the Apple products in between songs raising a smile all round. The understated theatrical performers enhance the atmosphere in store from that of a lazy afternoon browse for shopping to a quietly exciting venue for up-coming artists to stimulate the customers at what is becoming a popular event.
