Fresh off the plane from the US, this week’s episode is one of several recorded at the NFA Convention in sickly humid San Antonio, Texas. Kicking us off from across the pond is my friend and yours, Scottish flute superstar Stephen Clark. 

I haven’t seen Stephen in near 10 years, so this was just a lovely wee catch up that happened to be filmed where we chatted about cultural differences between the US and UK flute worlds, daily challenges for gigging musicians, keeping your trousers on whilst bowing and the musical stylings of Cyndi Lauper.
