POLSKA
Our Flat in Prague

PRAGUE & CZECH REPUBLIC
Our Czech Photo Albums, very out of date - update coming soon.

HUDDERSFIELD CONTEMPORARY MUSIC FESTIVAL
28 years old. The perfect reason for living in Huddersfield.Every year has some revelations but 2005 was memorable for the return of the music of Helmut Lachenmann, 2006 was not a vinage year for me but 2007 may be the most exciting yet!

SCHOENBERG
The Arnold Schoenberg Centre Website

ANTON WEBERN
This is an elegant and imaginative introduction. Does not tackle the subject in any depth, but has very useful MP3's for those new to Webern.

ROBERT MUSIL
Comprehensive and frequently updated site maintained by Gerry van Beers. I have rather a hidden link on my Home page to my own Robert Musil page, bet you didn't find it! So this will also take you to it.

BOHUMIL HRABAL
A short article in English about Bohumil Hrabal is to be found in Wikipedia with a couple of useful links. Hrabal has been well translated into English. So get hold of DANCING LESSONS FOR THE ADVANCED IN AGE, and go to the beer stall on the other side of the road from VYSTAVISTE and read it whilst enjoying a glass or two of Francin's lager from the Nymburk Brewery where Hrabal's father worked. With luck you will be amongst characters straight from his books! Photograph of the Hrabal Wall in Liben. Photo taken by Miaow Miaow in March 2005

ADOLF LOOS
Loos and Plecnik are the two architects whose work most influences me. Plecnik's church in Vinohrady and the Muller Villa by Loos must be seen when you are in Prague. Book well in advance for a very comprehensive tour of the Muller Villa and attend a service at The Church of the Sacred Heart. Access to both is otherwise extremely restricted.

CZECH BEER
The best site on the web. Very comprehensive. Written by Ron Pattinson who like me has bleak thoughts about the future for Czech beer.

CZECH TIMETABLE
Superbly organised timetable for ALL transport in the Czech Republic.

REMOSKA
Remoska is a simple cheap to run cooker. Once a ubiquitous part of the Czech lifestyle. It has taken its acceptance outside of CZ to point up its virtues rather than its connection with austerity.

HATS
Tonak hats from CZ. I was let loose in Tonak's warehouse last summer, friendly people and great fun for a hat addict

PROGRAMMATOLOGY
John Cayley. Supple and subtle use of the computer for Poetry, far from what is usually promoted as digital art

RICHARD POPEL
Richard Popel. Writer, painter and friend. His paintings are imbued with a Czech sensibility. He has lived in UK since 1969 and for a long time was a postman in York.
