We went to a gig last night....

Post by SRD »

A lovely gig; Fay well supported by Rob Harbron and Sam Sweeney on a variety of fiddles, concertina, nyckelharpa, guitar, percussion and background vocals.

I like the Doobie Bros but i also think a bit of English Folk Music now and again is good for the soul

Ah, so this music, based as it is on African rhythmns and Jewish tunes, telling tales of times past, isn't a form of folk music? :P

Much as I admire Mike Waterson's work, this isn't the best example, turning a rowdy drinking song into a bit of a dirge.

A curate's egg of a concert with Nicola Benedetti on top form and the European Union Chamber Orchestra apparently cruising.

Very good performance from the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra; a dramatic Beethoven Egmont overture, an excellent Shostakovich Violin concerto no. 1 and a bathroom suite of a Strauss Ein Heldenleben. Fine playing from the cellist Gautier Capucon, well supported by the orchestra and its soloists entertainingly conducted by Andris Nelsons.
