Matt Is Currently Away From His Blog Right Now…

… but if you’d like to leave a message I’ll get back to you when I return to the UK.

Here I go. Off to Abu Dhabi for my New Years Eve gig at The Emirates Palace Hotel.
I’m finally packed, I’ve dug out the hard-case for my Callichio and I’ve removed anything that can be used to make a bomb, such as water bottles and deodorant, from my hand luggage. Yet I’m allowed to take my trumpet onto the plane with me.
You’d have thought that it would be more dangerous to bash someone with a blunt piece of metal than a bottle of water but I’m not complaining as it’s not traveling in the hold!!

I’ve packed my camera to snap lots of photos so that I can bring back some cool stuff to show you.

I’m swinging by Neil’s at 4:30am so I’m turning in nice and early. As always there’s lots to see on my site (documentaries, animations, music samples and podcasts) so I hope it’ll keep you entertained until I get back.

Matt Returns on the 2nd of January… until then, Happy New Years!
