Apha kwi-LittlePod, siyavuya ukuxhasa ubugcisa e-East Devon ngo-2024. Ukuphawula unyaka wama-20 we-Farringdon Society of Arts ', siboleka inkxaso yethu kuthotho lweziganeko zenkcubeko, eziya kufikelela kuvuthondaba ekubuyisweni okukudala kulindiwe kukaTom McLauchlan, umdlali wegitare owaziwayo kule dolophana kaSeptemba. Enomdla wokufumana ngakumbi, uPaul kule veki ufowunele uTom. Ngawo la amazwi akhe:

Kudala ndaqala ukudlala kwiFSA. Iminyaka ihambile kwaye andizange ndidibane noJanet ixesha elide. Ukufumana i-imeyile ethi, 'Siyayikhumbula irecital yakho, ibithandeka kwaye singathanda ukuba nawe ubuye' yayimnandi. Ndiyacelwa ukuba ndibuyele kwiindawo endikhe ndadlala kuzo ngaphambili, kodwa ayiqhelekanga emva komsantsa omde. Kumnandi ukukhunjulwa kwaye ndikulangazelela kakhulu.

Ndiyikhumbula kakuhle loo recital yangaphambili. Ndikhumbula ndincokola noJanet kwaye ndichukunyiswa ngamandla akhe, kunye nolangazelelo lokuxhasa ubugcisa e-East Devon. Imibutho kunye namaqela afana i-FSA zibaluleke kakhulu kwaye kuwo wonke omnye umsebenzi endiwenzayo, ukunika i-solo classical guitar recital kwimeko efana nale kusoloko kuluyolo olukhulu. Ndiyakuthanda ukudlala kwiindawo ezisemaphandleni. Abantu bahlala besenza umgudu omkhulu kwaye beza kuphulaphula.

Umculo undenza ndikwazi ukuhambahamba. NgoMatshi, ndajoyina inqanawa yabakhenkethi behlabathi jikelele eSingapore ndaza ndadlala kumlenze ongaphambili ukuya eThekwini. Kunyaka ophelileyo, yayiyiBuenos Aires ukuya eBrazil kwaye, kungekudala emva kwe-recital eFarringdon, ndiya kuba kwi-Transatlantic cruise eya eNew York. Inokuba yimincili, i-top-notch, kunye ne-brow ephezulu. Kodwa ezi zihleliyo, iirecitals zodwa ziya kuhlala iluthando lwam lokuqala. Ziyavuza kakhulu.

Ndiyakuthanda ukudlala eLondon, kodwa yimarike egcweleyo. Ndinomhlobo obeke uthotho lwekonsathi ngexesha lesidlo sasemini esixekweni. Kweza abantu abasixhenxe. Ukufika kwam kuMzantsi Ntshona ngaphambili, ndikhumbula ndibuza ukuba singafumana abantu abaninzi na. Bathi, 'Ewe, uJohn noSue baseholideyini, kwaye omnye umntu uyagula. Kodwa bonke abanye abantu bale lali baza kube belapho.' Ufumana ithuba elihle kakhulu ngezi zinto.

Kule mihla umculo orekhodiweyo ufumaneka lula. Ungabhalisa kwaye umamele nantoni na, ngalo lonke ixesha. Kodwa ayikhange inciphise isibheno okanye ukubaluleka komculo ophilayo. URachmaninoff wayesoyika ukuba abantu baya kuyeka ukuya kwiikonsathi zakhe baze bamphulaphule ngegramafoni. Wajika waphazama, kuba abantu basathanda ukubakho kwigumbi kwezo zihlandlo ziphilayo ezingenako ukuphinda zenziwe kwakhona.

Le recital iya kuba sisiganeko esisondeleleneyo. Luhlobo lwekonsathi endithanda ukuya kuyo njengelungu labaphulaphuli. Ufumana loo ngqiqo yokuba wonke umntu wehla - njengohambo lwezonqulo - ukumamela umntu omnye. Iyamangalisa. Kukho ukuvuleka endikuthandayo. Ngesiginci, uzama ukutsala abantu ngaphakathi kunokuba ubavuthele. Abantu bathi, 'Ndizifumene ndingqiyama ngakumbi nangaphezulu kwisitulo sam.' Ndiyayithanda loo mbono.

Enye yamandla esiginci bubukhulu berepertoire ekhoyo. Ndithanda ukuqala irecital ngexesha likaElizabethan. Loo mculo welute yenkundla. Ndicinga ukuba iBach kufuneka ihlale ifakiwe. Kukho unxibelelwano olukhawulezileyo nomculo waseSpain kunye nowaseLatin America. Emva koko kukho umculo wangoku ngakumbi, njengoNikita Koshkin okanye uCavatina. Kukho into yomntu wonke. Kuya kuba njalo ngoSeptemba.

Abantu abafana noJanet babalulekile. Sifuna abantu ukuba baxhase ubugcisa e-East Devon kunye nezinye iindawo ezinjalo. Umculo odlalwayo ubalulekile kuluntu lwasemaphandleni kwaye sixhomekeke kumaqela afana neFSA - kunye nabantu abasemva kwawo - ukwenza ezi zinto zenzeke. Ihlabathi liyatshintsha ngonaphakade, kodwa umculo ophilayo uxabisekile njengakuqala. Ukubuzwa kwakhona kuluyolo olukhulu. Ndijonge phambili ukubona wonke umntu ngoSeptemba.
