If you do nothing else while on Madeira please go and visit one of the amazing concerts performed by Andrei Ladeichikov, Olga Ladeichikov, Andras Henderson and (I'm sorry but haven't retained the names) their wonderful collaboration of musicians who play almost every day in the Gardens of The English Church at 11.00am.

Having been to the Beatles, Legendary Rock and two classical concerts in January, I decided that hearing such brilliant musicians warranted another trip to this lovely island.

The Saturday afternoon open-air Ragtime concert was also delightful, with Olga Ladeishnikov on violin and Andrei on piano. This young man sells the tickets at the door, distributes the publicity leaflets and gives enthusiastic and knowledgeable introductions. Clearly he also does much to bring wonderful musicians together to develop their range and skills. He is a real treasure; …
