Don Nicolson Brand New Day

Check out Dons website ...www.myspace.com/donseventy7.... I love his voice...lyrics and melodies. He's also such a sweet guy.

I met Don and some other great musicians a few weeks ago at an art exhibition we were invited to at continental style cafe Poppies. What a wonderful evening and again so lovely to connect with more altruistic souls!

Aside from the culinary delights dished up by Marcin and his sister Gosha (originally from Poland) are encouraging social enterprise for artists, promoting creativity and exhibiting Art from www.thepoppiescafe.co.uk... soon to be transformed into bistro. My friend Marcin has such enthusiasm and plenty exciting ideas for development. It was a cosy evening as we huddled together with Saxophonist, keyboard player, guys with assorted djembis and bongos belting out the beats and rhythms from primal depths. Initially there was a Mediterranean feel to the atmosphere then branching out with African beats and rhythms.

The whole evening was food for the soul from start to finish as we all sat round singing then dancing inspired by the ambience of wider community spirit, more than half of the guests were guys from various pockets of Europe and beyond. I was in my element socializing with such kindred spirits where time and inhibitions are left behind, as music is so much a part of everyones being.

I met Don and some other great musicians a few weeks ago at an art exhibition our friends invited us to at a continental style bistro, what a wonderful evening! Marcin and his sister Gosha from Poland are encouraging social enterprise for local artists promoting their creativity with exhibiting their work from their bistro and via their website. The evening was a great success, a real continental feel to the night as we all sat round singing, inspired by the ambiance of community spirit, more than half of the guests were guys from different corners of Europe and beyond. I was in my element in such a relaxed atmosphere with kindred spirits with plenty singing and dancing enhancing the evening further. Huddled together in the corner of the room with the Saxophonist, keyboard player and the guys belting out the beats and rythmns with assorted djembis and bongos, felt like the lovely relaxed atmosphere found when on holiday with a group where instruments and music are so much of a part of everyones being that inhibitions and time are left behind.
