Daily personal practice is a non-negotiable for me, sometimes I’m preparing for an event, other times getting to know new instruments that have arrived, but mostly it’s just my quiet time, something I’ve been doing for over 20 years.

Then there’s the times when I have collaborative sessions with a fellow practitioner Carole Bring It To The Gong Soundbaths

Yesterday was one of those days. I always look forward to our sound play dates and I’m excited about some of the sounds we’re putting together 🎶

Two more classes have just completed their training with me, a midweek group and a weekend group.

They have each completed over 50 hours of in-person training. This training goes beyond the hours though, each graduate now has access to 6 months of ongoing mentorship, a complimentary 1-1 additional training session with me and priority access to future training days and events, to make sure they are fully supported as they start on this new path.

My courses are never ‘one-size-fits-all’. Every practitioner delivers sound in their own way, and the training has to reflect that. Getting to know each person in these 2 classes, understanding how they want to work with sound, has been a real privilege.

To everyone who has completed training with me, thank you for your time, dedication and trust, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you all.

New course dates are only released once the current course finishes, never before. The next midweek and weekend Sound Practitioner course dates will be announced in this week’s newsletter first.

We spent summer solstice exploring the beautiful Isle of Skye. We visited stunning hidden waterfalls and pools, played instruments in a cave and then on Sunday morning we played the gong at The Old Man of Storr for the solstice. What a great weekend!
Thanks to Dougie and Josephine for their generous hospitality and for taking us out on some really cool adventures around Skye.
Highly recommended .skye if you are looking for somewhere to stay on Skye.

Yesterday we were back at The Park Hotel in Kilmarnock for Gonging As One, a gong players gathering open to anyone who plays and wanted to come together with other like minded players to create something special.

We were joined by Sam from who travelled all the way from London to be with us. Sam shared his journey into mallet making followed by a demonstration of his mallets and gong accessories.Thanks Sam, it was great to have you there.

Then we all started playing together. I orchestrated the group so everyone knew when to come in, when to hold back etc, and together we created something really special.
20 gongs playing in unison but the room never felt overwhelming. It shouldn’t be about how loud you play, and yesterday was a perfect example of what skilled, conscious playing sounds like. Sound levels are something I take very seriously and volume levels stayed within a beautiful range throughout the day.

Every player had the chance to experience the sound from inside the gong circle - true surround sound! Such a treat as a player to get to experience something like this.

This day was about coming together, regardless of where anyone had trained, and connecting over a shared love of the gong. We had players travelling from Liverpool, Aberdeen, and from both the East and West costs of Scotland to be part of it.

Thank you to every single person who made the journey to be there and who made the day what it was. You are the reason events like these are worth doing.

Gonging As One will be back. This is now an annual event and I cannot wait to see what next year brings.

On my travels again.

Last month I was at a Paiste gong retreat in Wales hosted by Julian from ecymbals. Last weekend I attended the Mind Body Spirit Festival in London. Today, I’m heading back to Wales for another workshop by Mike Tamburo hosted by Bear and Shion.

Home Friday. Gonging As One event on Sunday.

Really happy to be heading back to Bear and Shion’s Golden Gong Gathering this August.

Last year I gave a talk and a demonstration on how I use singing bowls harmonically, working with intervals instead of single tones. The feedback from both sessions was great and I am very proud to be invited back to share again.

This year I will be giving a talk followed by a longer sound session using singing bowls, gongs with flumies, and another very special instrument.

The Gathering brings together some well-respected names from across the sound community, I’m very pleased to be among them.

If you’re attending this year come and say hi 🎶
