  1. This is another wonderful experience of how to let the world know about unique historical information through music
    It will be going on holiday with me to another little gem of a place in Spain with some remarkable history I am sure it would be of interest to Mark as I think he may be intrigued with this place in Spain
    I ha e followed Mark and his entourage in Glasgow and Edinburgh since 1978 haven’t missed a concert.
    The man is a genius my hero.
    Contact me if it is of interest to you and I will explain

    Cheers
