I wish alison Balsom would play something a bit different! There are looads of very good contempory Trumpet Concerti out there!

Tuesday & Wednesday look pretty good - unfortunately the children are visiting Tuesday night, so I'll miss The Sixteen - a double pity as they aren't coming to Glasgow this time. They had a very full house in the Cathedral on their last visit. I just hope I'll remember to listen to Wednesday, what with packing to go away!

And this is genuine live? Not 'as live'?
