Proms - the BBC variety!

I'll watch Belshazzar's Feast on Catch Up as DH was so underwhelmed by the first two pieces (I won't post his coments ) that I gave in.

On now Radio 3 The Lost Words concert.

Just listening - my DD was the one who got the Spell Songs folk group together. But in Heron, the mic was not picking up the tune from Seckou Keita - frustration!!!

And I am having to listen on my laptop as TV has stopped working - what a moment to pick!!!

I will try and catch it again on iPlayer - why does technology let you down at critical moments??!!!

The Elgar was wonderful.

I only caught brief snatches of it as OH needed lots of attention at the critical moment - but what I heard was wonderful and I can't wait to listen to it all on catch-up. I like that lady conductor, even though I can't pronounce her name. The second half piece was lovely - I must look up about it.

The Nina Simone tribute concert that's on at the moment is fantastic. I wasn't expecting Dido's Lament. I've only just cheered up!

Wonderful!
