Busy private practice on the West Midlands/Staffordshire
border.
As a hobby, I build websites for small
businesses etc., for next to nothing--(and they all look very different
from each other!) For more details, visit my 'hobby' website at
www.davidcarpenter.co.uk
You're also welcome to visit the hypnotherapy/psychotherapy practice
website at www.helpishere.co.uk (Both
home-made by me, of course.)
In September 2004, my wife and I went to stay at the
Headland Hotel, Newquay in Cornwall. We'd both been working very
hard, and needed the rest. The very first night, as we sat in the
restaurant having our evening meal, I remarked to my wife--what an
AMAZING pianist, playing in the background! This was
seriously better than the 'musak' you hear in piano bars
everywhere--clearly someone playing with real affection and love for the
sounds, and with real ability too...
I went over to chat to him between courses, and found
that he would be performing with his wife singing later, in the
lounge. My wife and I decided to wait around in the lounge after the
meal, and stop to listen. What we heard just blew us away!!!
Jeff can make that keyboard do just about everything
but make the tea! We were treated to a real virtuoso performance.
As for Michelle--well, I never before heard a jazz
singer who could make every note a cliff-hanger--it seemed like a song
would hang suspended in mid air, then just as it was about to crash to the
ground, up it soared again… a bit like the seagulls on the cliffs
outside the hotel…
We went to the Headland last time for a rest and a bit of
luxury. (it's certainly that!) This year, (2005) we plan to go back
there in May.--We'll enjoy the luxury, sure, but what we're really going
back for is another 'fix' of some of the most amazing live music we've ever
heard--Michelle and Jeff!
