St Lawrence's Church is tucked away behind the Buttercross, on Winchester High Street (you pass by its massive doorway on your left as you head towards the Cathedral). It's easy to miss. Its modest exterior conceals a gem of a building and I know from experience that it has an artistically sophisticated congregation as well as a very good acoustic for classical guitar. Visit the
Southampton Guitar Society's lively Facebook Page as well - for news of this and many other fantastic guitar concerts.

| The Street off Danforth where we're staying |
I'm giving you this shout-out to alert you from the sultry heat of
Toronto. We're staying in a basement flat which is pleasantly cool (aircon), but outside it is steamy and tropical. I like it very much.
So have a lovely time at Cheryl's concert in Winchester, all of you, and meanwhile I'll hope that some other nice audiences over here will come to hear me (which I can't quite believe will happen!). Langford Street (where our basement is) is on Danforth and the area is called
Greektown and I've just been out and bought olives and Macedonian feta specially recommended by the Greek lady in the shop - it's a lovely vibrant area with leafy shaded streets going off it either side.
