This is about the only tolerable picture of me. It was also taken in 2001, since when I have aged more and become even less attractive!

Hi.  I'm Steve Aal. Welcome to my Web Site

This site tells you some things about some of my personal interests and about my career and professional life.

I'm passionately interested in music of almost all kinds .. especially the traditional music of England and France and music of the Baroque and Renaissance periods.  I play a Wooden Flute similar to the one in the picture and Diatonic Accordion (or Accordeon Diatonique or English Melodeon, depending on where you come from).

I work as the Manager of a Theatre Company, a comparatively recent development in my career.

I was a software engineer for most of my working life and ran my own software company for fifteen years.  I still do some software, but gave it up full-time in 2001 and have been doing more and more work as an Arts manager: Organising Events and Exhibitions, Fundraising, Marketing and helping Artists and Craftsmen become better at doing these things for themselves.

The Wooden flute that is shown at the top of each page is by Mark Hoza.  It is made in Australia from Cooktown Ironwood.
