Hi folks
I was fortunate enough to see Ara Dinkjian Quartet at the Southbank, London last Sunday evening - wonderful gig, fantastic musicians and fantastic
interplay between them (particularly Ara and Sinopoulos on lyra). I know he has been around this week but couldn't make any talks etc because of
work.
They are in session tonight on radio 3 recorded from the 19th November, World on 3, at 11 pm. You can listen after this online here ...

leon - thanks for the link...
if you haven't seen them, there are three (so far) high res. films on youtube of ara playing with his 'secret trio' - a configuration that plays
out in nyc.
the one song is vazgectim, made famous in turkey years back when it was sung by sezen aksu

i recently received the oud that tasos just made for me - i see you saw the post on youtube...it is light as a feather with an exquisite tone - by far
the closest i have heard to the melancholy voice of a manol in a new instrument ...i know you also love tasos' ouds...
here is the link since it is already on youtube...

Hi there
I love your clip - my oud is on his website as the 'blonde model' 
I should put some more stuff up there as I think I sound more like an oud player now, those clips of mine are ok but a bit stiff - much more natural
now.
I still love that oud of mine - just playing it now
