With the usual apologies for self-promotion, could I draw to the attention of listers to a couple of forthcoming events?
In the US my book is about to be published under a new title. HarperCollins in New York didnt think American readers would take too kindly to the double entendre in the British title, so its appearing on 2 December as A Devil To Play. The jacket design features a sort of Monty Python style image of a rickety old single F horn with my head appearing nervously out of the bell. Its available for inspection on my website. Could I also flag up for UK listers a forthcoming stage version of the book? Its on in a small London theatre from 1 to 20 December. Its surely safe to say that there will never in our lifetime be another play starring the French horn. The play took its first bow in June at the Aldeburgh Festival, where audiences seemed to like it. Again, theres more detailed information on the website. Click on the image of the guy with half his head inside the bell of my Lídl. Theres other stuff on the website, including extracts, reviews and a page dedicated to spreading the word about Dave Lee, the great British horn player who features heavily in both the book and play.
