Saw them last Friday in the UK in Poole on the south coast - absolutely brilliant gig - the interplay and 'telepathy' is astonishing and the pace this runs at was quite something. I took a guitarist friend with me and he'd never seen anything like it :applause:

Have a great gig

Hi Leon

We missed you on Sunday.

Re: the trio, telepathic or extremely well rehearsed. Both probably.

It was a great show...I was excited but never expected to enjoy it this much :)

I don't know but it seemed to me like it was a combination of practice and telepathy !!!:applause:

What I mostly enjoyed is that I finally got to hear the oud, I have been to many performances by musicians who are known for playing the oud but at the end of the show found that I have seen an oud but have not heard one...not sure if I have explained this point well enough but the takasim in between the pieces last night by the Joubran brothers were absolutely amazing :bowdown:

Basically...even though they are not playing the oud in a traditional way and have their own style, they have kept the ouds' identity.

Well I got you all a small gift, it's a little clip I was able to record with my phone camera...sorry the quality is not the best but I think it's decent, hope you enjoy it ;)
