I've just been talking to Jim Couza, who many will remember as "the giant of the Hammered dulcimer".

Jim has asked me to put the word out that he is about to move from Bristol to Aylesbury (if you want contact details, please PM me), and he is quite keen to do a few gigs.

For those that don't know, he has had a horrendous few years, which includes having both legs amputated and 2 heart bypass operations. However, he is in good spirits and is quite mobile, with a wheelchair, but can also walk on crutches, and he can drive in his mobility car.

He tells me that he would like to do a few festivals and clubs, but he DEFINITELY doesn't want to go back to gigging full time.

He's missing the music and would like to get out there again. And most of all is living life to the full and enjoying every day.
