Past Concerts 2008

Concert page statement 2008

We are very pleased to say that Maxim reports that the injury he sustained last year to his right arm is now fully recovered and he is now fine and healthy.

During his enforced break from performing he has become involved in other exciting projects and issues, and now has to take time to deal with these before he can devote time to dedicate himself to performing.

He is sorry to disappoint fans with further cancellations in the short term, but promises that he will be back in due course. We hope to be able to update soon with further news as his plans become finalised.
