Poor Ivan Hewitt's rather desperate suggestion that the BCA prize day somehow publicised the existence of composers to people who might otherwise have thought all composers were dead!
But even if the puff is half-hearted, it's good to hear contemporary music that isn't making cosmic statements and doesn't need instructions.
Miss Ubiquity herself, Gillian Moore got on my tits with a sublime piece of inverted snobbery. " ... working with the homeless people is a real proper piece work ... " whereas " ... the Proms thing appeals to a certain kind of middle class audience who know what the Proms is and know where the Albert Hall is." Really woman? Working class Londoners don't know where the Albert Hall is? Patronising cow.
Music is more real because it involves " ... people who've had homelessness issues recently"?! Good Christ! And here she comes again, babbling away on the Skempton.
