A change is as good as a rest…

There has to be some truth in such an enduring statement. Certainly I’m placing my confidence there, because it looks so fierce here in Cork.

A long weekend in Country Clare in the west of Ireland, in front of the waves that surfers love…

I’ll interrupt the weekend with a visit to Limerick, to the University Concert Hall (UCH) for a concert on Saturday evening.

It’s a free concert, part of Summer Music on the Shannon (#sms09).  John Perry & friends will be live video streamed - this is a first for UL, a first for UCH (this will give you the link you need), and for all I know it may be the first time a classical music performance is being live streamed on the internet from Ireland.

Someone will contradict me if I’ve got this wrong.

I’d be grateful if you’d pass the word on to your friends who use internet, especially lovers of music, early adopters of innovations and absolutely anyone.  I ask this because I’ve been doing my best to give support to SMS by blogging about SMS, spreading the news that there is a fabulous for children to learn to make and perform music, including operatic music.

You would be helping SMS in a small but significant way by blogging this news, facebooking it or even twittering the gospel.

Have a great weekend: remember there is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing.
