I am a huge fan of composer and guitarist, Frank Zappa’s music – both his rock and classical works. Unfortunately though I am of the wrong generation to have been lucky enough to witness any of his gigs. A few years ago I was very excited to hear that Frank Zappa’s son, Dweezil was touring the UK, performing his father’s works with his\u00a0band\u00a0Zappa plays Zappa. Since this discovery, I have been to see lots of ZPZ gigs – and had an amazing time. The band are a group of fantastic musicians, and they approach Frank’s music with authenticity and passion.<\/p>\n

A couple of years ago ZPZ were awarded a Grammy for ‘best rock instrumental performance’. During ZPZ’s last tour, I was lucky enough to briefly chat to Dweezil – I had questions to ask him about his father’s Clarinet Concerto – Mo N Herb’s Vacation. This resulted in me posting various audio files of my clarinet\u00a0playing\u00a0onto Dweezil’s website!!<\/p>\n

Months past, and out of the blue, I recived a message from Dweezil asking whether I would like to join the band onstage to play one of Frank Zappa’s songs on a couple of dates during their UK tour! I was, and still am very excited!<\/p>\n

I will be playing in the Roundhouse on November 10, and in Birmingham Town Hall on the 18th. I have been given a fantastic part to play – it’s\u00a0quite difficult too, \u00a0so I am now off to practice!!<\/p>\n

Rwy\u2019n gefnogwr mawr o weithiau y cyfansoddwr a\u2019r gitarydd Frank Zappa \u2013 gan gynnwys ei gyfansoddiadau roc a chlasurol. Yn anffodus, cefais fy ngeni yn y degawd anghywir i ferdu fynychu unrhyw un o\u2019i gigs. Ychydig flynyddoddd yn ol roeddwn yn filch iawn o glywed fod ei fab Dweezil yn mynd ar daith o amgylch y DU, gyda\u2019i fand \u2018Zappa plays Zappa\u2019. Mae\u2019r band yn griw o gerddorion sy\u2019n dryw i berfformio gweithiau Frank Zappa, ac ers eu darganfod, rwyf wedi bod yn eu gweld droeon. Ychydig flynyddoedd yn ol derbynniodd y band wobr \u2018Grammy\u2019 am gynrychioli\u2019r \u2018perfformiad roc gorau\u2019.<\/p>\n

Yn ystod taith olaf ZPZ roeddwn ddigon ffodus I gael sgwrs gyda Dweezil \u2013 roedd gen i gwestiynnau i ofyn wrtho am Goncertio Clariet ei Dad \u2013 \u2018Mo \u2018N Herb\u2019s Vacation\u2019. Canlyniad hyn, oedd fi yn postio nifer o glipiau sain ohona i yn chwarae clarinet at ei wefan \u2013 (fel tudael weplyfr I gefnogwyr ZPZ!)!<\/p>\n

Ar ol ychydig fisoedd cefais neges yn annisgwyl gan Dweezil yn gofyn a fuaswn yn hoffi ymuno a\u2019r band i chwarae can yn ystod un neu ddau o ddyddiadau are u taith nesaf! Waa!!<\/p>\n

Byddaf yn chwarae yn y Roundhouse yn Llundain ar y 10ed o Dachwedd, ac yn Newuadd y Dref Birmingham ar yr 18ed! Mae\u2019r rhan clarinet yn wych \u2013 er iddo fod yn eithaf anodd! Gwell i mi fynd i ymarfer!!<\/p>\n
