Kuno ku LittlePod, ndife okondwa kuthandizira zaluso ku East Devon mu 2024. Kuti tilembetse chaka cha 20 cha Farringdon Society of Arts, tikubwereketsa thandizo lathu ku zochitika zingapo zachikhalidwe, zomwe zikuyenera kuti zifike pachimake pakubwerera kwanthawi yayitali kwa Tom McLauchlan, woyimba gitala wodziwika bwino mu Seputembala uno. Pofunitsitsa kudziwa zambiri, Paul sabata ino adayimbira foni Tom. Mawu ake ndi awa:

Papita nthawi yayitali kuchokera pomwe ndidayamba kusewera FSA. Zaka zapita ndipo sindinakumane ndi Janet kwa nthawi yayitali. Kuti mulandire imelo yoti, 'tikukumbukira mawu anu, zinali zabwino ndipo tikufuna kuti mubwerere' zinali zodabwitsa. Ndimapemphedwa kuti ndibwerere kumalo omwe ndidasewerapo kale, koma sizachilendo pambuyo pa kusiyana kwanthawi yayitali. Ndibwino kukumbukira ndipo ndikuyembekezera kwambiri.

Ndimakumbukira bwino zomwe zidachitika kale. Ndimakumbukira kucheza ndi Janet ndikusangalatsidwa ndi mphamvu zake, komanso chidwi chothandizira zaluso ku East Devon. Mabungwe ndi magulu monga ndi FSA ndizofunika kwambiri komanso ntchito zina zonse zomwe ndimachita, kupereka solo ya gitala yachikale muzochitika ngati izi nthawi zonse zimakhala zosangalatsa kwambiri. Ndimakonda kusewera kumidzi. Anthu nthawi zonse amayesetsa kwambiri ndikubwera kudzamvetsera.

Nyimbo zimandithandiza kuyenda. M’mwezi wa March, ndinalowa m’sitima yapamadzi yapadziko lonse ku Singapore ndipo ndinasewera mwendo wopita ku Durban. Chaka chatha, inali Buenos Aires kupita ku Brazil ndipo, pasanapite nthawi yaitali kuchokera ku Farringdon, ndidzakhala paulendo wapamadzi wa Transatlantic womwe udzapita ku New York. Itha kukhala yosangalatsa, yapamwamba kwambiri, komanso yapamaso kwambiri. Koma izi zokhala pansi, zowerengera zayekha zidzakhala chikondi changa choyamba. Iwo amangopindulitsa kwambiri.

Ndimakonda kusewera ku London, koma ndi msika wodzaza. Ndili ndi mnzanga yemwe adapanga mndandanda wamasewera a nkhomaliro mumzinda. Anthu 7 anabwera. Nditafika ku South West m'mbuyomu, ndimakumbukira kuti ndinafunsa ngati titha kupeza anthu ambiri. Iwo anati, ‘Chabwino, John ndi Sue ali patchuthi, ndipo wina akudwala. Koma aliyense m’mudzimo adzakhalapo.’ Mumapeza nthawi yochuluka ndi zinthu izi.

Masiku ano nyimbo zojambulidwa zimapezeka mosavuta. Mutha kulembetsa ndikumvera chilichonse, nthawi zonse. Koma sizinachepetse kukopa kapena kufunika kwa nyimbo zamoyo. Rachmaninoff ankaopa kuti anthu angasiye kupita kumakonsati ake n’kumangomumvetsera pa galamafoni. Anakhala akulakwitsa, chifukwa anthu amakondabe kukhala m'chipindamo pazochitika zomwe sizingapangidwenso.

Kubwereza uku kudzakhala chochitika chapamtima. Ndi mtundu wa konsati yomwe ndimakonda kupitako ngati membala wa omvera. Mumamva kuti aliyense watsika - ngati waulendo - kumvera munthu m'modzi. Ndizodabwitsa. Pali kumasuka komwe ndimakonda. Ndi gitala, mukuyesera kukokera anthu m'malo mowawombera. Anthu amati, 'Ndinadzipeza ndikutsamira patsogolo ndi patsogolo pa mpando wanga.' Ndimakonda lingaliro limenelo.

Imodzi mwa mphamvu za gitala ndi kukula kwa repertoire yomwe ilipo. Ndimakonda kuyamba kuwerengera nthawi ya Elizabethan. Nyimbo za lute za bwalo. Ndikuganiza kuti Bach ayenera kuphatikizidwa nthawi zonse. Pali maulalo apompopompo ndi nyimbo zaku Spain ndi Latin America. Ndiye pali nyimbo zamasiku ano, monga Nikita Koshkin kapena Cavatina. Pali chinachake kwa aliyense. Umu ndi momwe zidzakhalire mu September.

Nyimbo zanyimbo ndizofunikira kwambiri kumadera akumidzi ndipo timadalira magulu monga FSA - ndi anthu omwe ali kumbuyo kwawo - kuti izi zichitike. Dziko likusintha mpaka kalekale, koma nyimbo zamoyo ndizofunika kwambiri. Kufunsidwa ndi chisangalalo chachikulu. Ndikuyembekezera kuwona aliyense mu September.
