The weeks ahead…
Off again to do some improvising in residential homes with Radnor Improvisers continuing out reach project. Work on the new solo record is due to take an upping of pace and I am putting together a solo show that will be trawled to various places, more on that soon.

Things a foot…..
Well it may have seemed quiet on the Western front but things are afoot.
I have just put the basic tracks down with Tim Harries for the follow up to Dark Transport. So work has really started in earnest. We plan to do a few shows in the coming months info re when, where and such like as and when.
Fourth Page. We will be recording a new record for Leo at the end of the month, due for release in May. Live dates are being formulated as we speak, more on that as things get firmed up. Mainly mainland Europe rather than just UK this time.

Well 2013, who’d have thought it…… Mayan prediction however read still means I’ll have to fill out my tax return.
Then and now….
Well a busy couple of months with the Radnor Improvisers a series of workshops in a local school a couple of drop in mornings and an event that also culminated in a final event in Knighton, Powys, all as part of an out reach project taking Improvisation into places it is not normally found. A recent performance with Camilla Cancantata in a local residential home was a particularly moving experience.
Peter and Paul came to the rainy ranch this last week and we recorded some really nice trio pieces that will be made available soon.
Fourth Page will start the new year with a concert at St Leonard’s in Shoreditch, London on the 11th January. Tickets and details here:

Radnor Improvisers outreach project hits the ground running…..
Problems with websites….
For reasons that are being looked into now you may find problems with 4thpage.com and charlieberesford.com sorry for this it is beyond our control at the moment it is due to some monumental cock up that has nothing to do with us…. We are working hard to put things right….
Something for the end of the month….
On the 29th September I will be undertaking this

my good friend couldn’t do it due to extenuating circumstances so agreed to take his place.
I will be doing the 30km as it will be my first enduro. The training is killing me and leaving a huge grin on my face in equal measures….
In May this year my sister was the first person to run around the circumference of Wales details here

a feet that it cannot be stressed enough was awesome (and I don’t mean that in street slang terms where breaking wind in a paper bag is considered awesome, I mean it in the real sense of the word). So I am doing this enduro under the banner of the Dragon Run 1027 in the hope that some more money can be raised for two very important charities.
http://www.velindrefundraising.com/index.php?id=20
for lung cancer research, though this is a Welsh based charity the research that will be carried out has worldwide implications, I think most of us are touched in some way by this disease in our lives be it directly or indirectly. These guys are trying put this disease in its place.
and

whose relentless money raising attempts for new equipment for the Critical Care Unit in Gozo hospital, Malta is also awesome. They give the tools to enable some of the greatest scenes of human kindness and care I have ever witnessed to take place.
So if you are in a position to donate something and wish to please do if you are not send me a few positive vibes on the 29th to help me get round…

…and for all of you who have given already to this cause many thanks…..
Thanks for reading this…
