Happy new year, everyone!
Meet my big event of 2008: Hungarian Dances will be out on 6 March in hardback, then in paperback on 7 August. Expect much celebration on JDCMB featuring Bartok, Dohnanyi, Kodaly, not to mention Brahms, Ravel and a lot of fabulous Gypsy fiddling.
A brand-new recording by Philippe Graffin to complement the novel is currently in the planning stages. Watch this space.

Could you give a few details about the British-Hungarian fellowship? One is required to enter a lot of personal details but nothing is said about what happens to them!
The site says: "The British-Hungarian Fellowship is a charitable organisation in London set up in 1951 by Professor CA Macartney, Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford. Its aim is to foster friendship and understanding between the people of Britain and Hungary. This website is run by the British-Hungarian Fellowship as a free service for anyone who is interested in British-Hungarian activities."
My link is to the organisation's brand-new social networking site!
I hope this helps.
Happy New Year, Jessica (and to His Royal Ginger Highness). It's a small world: I've just discovered that we were both at North London Collegiate back in the 1980s. I thought your name sounded vaguely familiar, checked an old school mag and found that you left a few years before I did! (Do you remember a Miss Godden and endless Handel concerts? They never told us about castrati back then....)Had the same experience with Gillian Tett, now an editor at the FT.
Anne - OMG, who could forget Miss Godden?! And the endless Handel. I still feel slightly nauseous whenever I hear 'Where 'ere you walk' and 'Did you not see my lady'.
Were you there the Founders' Day that someone let down a toy spider behind her on the platform curtain?!
