I had the pleasure of enjoying a fantastic evening on Sunday 20th May with The Silk Route team, special guest hosts Hossam & Serena Ramzy and the Drumzy School of Music Rhythm and Dance (Helen, Rachel, Cherie, Alexandra, Natasha, Amy, Bonita, Judite, Lianna, Sabrynah, Saeeda and Mike). Amazingly high standards of dance and of course top notch drumming from Hossam....you wouldn't expect anything less from a man that has worked with Jimmy Page and Robert Palnt, Peter Gabriel, Big Country, Joan Armatrading, etc, etc! To top it all I had the honour of photographing the event and the photos of the performances will be available soon. A selection will be posted on The Silk Route's Flickr Photostream soon but Contact Me if you would like to see more.
The next Silk Route show will take place on Sunday 15th July 2012 and will feature the brilliant Elis Pinheiro. As usual, I will be the official photographer and I hope to see you there...

I am delighted that the "Oriental Limelight" Magazine Blog have used a number of my photos (with permission) in their recently published "Randa Kamel" interview. The photos were taken at one of Randa's cabaret performances on the Nile Maxim restaurant boat in Cairo, Egypt 2010. It's a great interview by Isis Zahara and can be found at http://orientallimelight.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/randa-kamel-of-course-interview-with.html. The magazine looks like essential reading for any fans of Oriental Dance (Bellydance).

A selection of photos from The Silk Route show held in March 2012 can now be viewed on the show's Flickr Photostream.
