Thanks for that nice comment, Beefy. I don't really find it gig going a chore.
It occurred to me on Friday night the upside of Bellowhead quitting is that it leaves a big gap for somebody else to fill, and help them on their way.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
I am not a number, I am a free man.

I have just been for a quick jog, ( got to play office 5 a side football on Tuesday), and my throat needed considerable clearing.
" I'll dig out my banjo" IS a roots music saying and not a euphemism, right?I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

While we're on the subject, I hope Bellowhead isn't a euphemism.

I rather assume that Bellowhead suggested a sort of folky Radiohead,powered by wind,but what do I know ?I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

Saturday: Rattle + OAE at the Anvil Basingstoke. A rare and enjoyable rendition of a the funky Scherzo from Rott's Symphony, on the basis of which Brahms persuaded him to give up composing, followed by Bruckner 6 as the main dish.
On Wednesday: Lunchtime at the Wiltshire Music Centre in Bradford-on-Avon, a fine young Russian pianist, Alexander Panfilov, in Debussy Estampes and Pictures at an Exhibition. Having listened to recordings of this work so often it was great finally to hear it live and in a stupendous performance.

Last Saturday at the RFH,
Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 4
Strauss An Alpine Symphony
Alexey Zuev / LPO / Jurowski
I was disappointed with the Rachmaninov. Jurowski seemed to be wanting to get it over with, and Zuev's performance sounded lumpy and poorly co-ordinated to me, but this may have been partly due to the poor seat I had booked.
At the interval I managed to secure an official seat move, and the Strauss sounded magnificent. From my new position everything snapped into focus and the offstage brass early on in the climb were great. I sometimes feel that the Alpine Symphony does better on CD than it does live, not for technical reasons but because somehow the thematic repetitions become less obvious when listening at home. On Saturday it certainly was a lovely wallow!
