Wandering around the historical Qianmen Street in Beijing and the traditional old commercial street of Dashilanr, I feel the excitement of being a tourist whilst at the same time the nostalgia of returning home. I found it interesting that when I was teenager living in Beijing I preferred to go to the very modern places in the city - I was always impressed to see the changes to people's lives. Now coming back to my hometown from abroad I particularly like to go to those traditional locations in the city that have a distinctive character that belongs only to us.

After the Chinese New Year concert I I was really happy to be able to celebrate the new year with my family. Strolling on Wangfujing Avenue (Beijing famous commercial street) brought back lots of memories - I hadn't been there for 10 years !

Sharing a new video with you - made by ABRSM to help promote their new guitar syllabus ! It was filmed in the open air near their offices in central London. The music is Sons de Carrilhões (Sound of Bells) by the Brazilian composer João Pernambuco. The guitar is by Zbigniew Gnatek. Enjoy ! https://youtu.be/Nu12v-wlKBc

Narongsak Visesnut not only makes guitar cases, but also nice guitars😀 This guitar is only two days old made from maple and spruce! Playing Eternal Saudade by Reis to test the high range. #guitarcases #guitarmaking #guitarluthier

A friend sent me this vintage TV video - I almost forgot I played in this guitar ensemble when I was a teenager. Can you spot me in there?

A short video of an interview for ABRSM covering dealing with performance nerves and other questions!

It was fun to shoot this video outdoors for ABRSM ! I was a lucky recipient of their international scholarship, without which I would not have been able to come and study at the Royal Academy in UK many years ago !

Happy New Year everyone ! Wishing you all a great year in 2019, along with some more music in your life. Here is an informal clip of a cheerful piece to start the year ! https://youtu.be/1qamAlxnsvo

Merry Christmas everyone!

Sharing these pictures from the recording sessions of last summer ! This brings me such a nice memory of those days. After a long debate we all agreed to use Milonga del Angel as the album title. Not only we particularly like that track, we also recorded at London's Angel Studios. The recording sessions had a quite spontaneous, almost party-feeling, which really suited to the music we played. The editing took place in the idyllic English countryside. We could listen to the takes and look out on the beautiful scenery on a rare fine day - life felt beautiful. Hope you can catch how we felt during the making of the album when you listen to it! https://open.spotify.com/album/4UPlM5eQqvyNnoD1l4BVp2
