Sincerest apologies for the absence of the Gypsy Trail this week!

After having a fabulous weekend in Sydney - where I saw the Gypsy Queens and Kings perform in the Domain - I missed my train back home this afternoon and was unable to host the show.

The Gypsy Queens and Kings were amazing, and it was so nice to finally see Ezma Redzepova perform live! Unfortunately the photos I took of the show are terrible as I was only using my mobile. Never mind, the audience loved the music, and I will play more of the artists' music during next week's show.

Best wishes

- Vince
