    FRENCH CONNECTION LEADS TO SCOTLAND

    TIGRAN Hamasyan is describing how, as an Armenian experiencing the
    culture shock of being transplanted to Los Angeles, he managed to
    make connections that took him out of the house and on to the stage.

    Not knowing anyone and feeling isolated as he confined himself to
    lonely piano practice, he suddenly noticed that a familiar name was
    playing in town and decided to go down to the club.

    "It's going to sound weird but there I was in Los Angeles, where
    there's any number of great musicians," he says. "But I actually
    had to use a connection I'd made in France to start meeting people
    in America. Of course once I'd met and heard some people, I started
    getting out to play and life became easier but in the beginning, it
    was hard. I spent my first year in the US just playing and writing
    music by myself."
