Anyone looking for some tranquil piano music should try to get their hands on this great album by Tsegue-Maryam Guebrou called Ethiopiques. She is a fantastic pianist and composer, and recorded her own piano solo works full of Ethiopian culture.

A lot of people have been raving about the Anish Kapoor exhibition at the Royal Academy which is well worth a visit - but please do not miss the ‘Wild Thing’ exhibition upstairs in the Sackler Wing of the gallery with work from Jacob Epstein, Eric Gill and Henri Gaudier Brzeska.
I have always been a fan of Jacob Epstein but wasn’t so familiar with the other two. I have to say that Gaudier-Brzeska’s work is really amazing and he was also a great looking guy!
