Your 2014 Concerts

I'll be attending several concerts next year of Boulez/CSO's Stravinsky/Ravel/Debussy programs.

I have not seen him about 10 years so looking forward to the occasions.

And Paul Lewis' Beethoven No.3 Piano Concerto 'should be' good.

Bill Callahan in a church in Cologne. February. 

Richard Thompson and Danny Thompson, Half Moon, Putney in April, haven't seen RT in such a small venue for years!

GP& The Rumour 6 June Shepherds Bush Empire

What a bizarre photograph! Imagine the art planning meeting;

Attractive lady pianist; let's put her in a backless dress. Check.

Natural light would be good; some woodland. Check.

Maybe some Rhododendron in the background. Check.

Wind machine to get that slightly tousled look. Check.

Obviously a piano. Check.

No - still something missing. We need a swan.........

Richard,

That stuffed swan pretty much makes it a money shot.

Without it, it's pretty boring.

This shot, OTOH, needs no stuffed bird, as there are two nicely stuffed bosoms as a point of visual interest.

Next year taking shape...

A little bit different for me but after getting my first taste of Opera in Naples earlier in the year with Rigoletto my wife booked last night for us to go and see Madame Butterfly and Carmen at the Open Air Opera Festival in Verona next August, should certainly be a spectacle.

Just booked to see Nick Lowe in may. A real treat i am sure as always.

Don't get your hopes up, the chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one, they say...
