Setting off: Some links!

Hello to the lovely people who have made it to our blog before it has anything interesting on it!

We are heading off to explore the world, starting with a four-month contract performing in a Jazz Quartet onboard cruise ship Celebrity Equinox. We will be playing for approximately three hours, spread out over each evening, with our friends Penelope Kibby and Nate Rapana. Sam will play bass, myself piano, Nate is our drummer and Penelope our vocalist.

Our plan is to get out and explore every corner of the world that we reach during the day, and to give our musical "chops" a big re-boot in the evening.

We join the ship on Monday March 24th in Miami, Florida, USA. For the first three weeks we'll be visiting the Caribbean Islands and South and Central America, and on April 14th the ship will start a Trans-Atlantic crossing to reposition in the Mediterranean. There we'll visit Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Montenegro and Croatia, as well as many of the Mediterranean Islands.
