I am so excited to be part of hosting the first gathering of AMPsterdammers to chat, get to know one another and, hopefully, begin what will by a cornucopia of collaborations!

I was so lucky to be a part of the first AMP performances done here last year, and I was absolutely thrilled by the wide range of artists, genres and nations that were represented. Not only did I have a fantastic time, I met some really wonderful friends - many of whom I'm working with now - and look forward to more of it in the future!

So often, as artists, we live in a cocoon of our own making - suffering silently (well sometimes at least) to ensure that we are able to communicate our message clearly. Well you know, sometimes its also just nice to have a chat over a beer.

So, I hope that fellow AMPers and wannabe AMPers in Amsterdam join 'Rico and I on the 30th at Struik, a great place which is turning into a creative centre for us all!

See you soon!

On a quite different tip, I have to note how hugely excited I am to be visiting Los Angeles next week and meeting up with my fellow AMPers there - soon come!!!
