(Won’t be going anytime soon though) Real diverse audience. They don’t have a class system over there though and it’s relatively cheap. Even went to a Ballet last year at the Albert Halls. I watched some Chinese opera thing at the lowry a while ago. Oh my God. 3 hrs of torture. Sounded like out of tune evil BeeGees.

Most of the great composers were very Nationalistic. Smetana and Dvorak the Czech composer’s were no different. It’s worth noting that Hitler banned a lot of music when he came to power. Because it was inconsistent with his ideology. https://research.calvin.edu/german-propaganda-archive/banned.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted August 27, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted August 27, 2020 I'd quite like to see Andre Rieu in Maastricht. Away from the main audience group, folk sat outside cafe bars, some having a dance in the street, over a glass of something delicious. Looks tremendous.

I love stuff like that. I go to a Haçienda Classical gig pretty much every year. Lucky Chops, Mark Ronson etc. Give me an orchestra/band playing music with a foot tapping beat, it's awesome.

frank_spencer Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Greatest encounter with the classical music crowd was at Warwick Arts Centre. We'd gone to see Ozomatli (hip-hop, ska, latino mix) in one of the smaller rooms some big philharmonic orchestra were in the main room. It was bloody sweltering so Ozomatli decided to take the gig to the outside and have a party on the grass. Cue a couple of hundred punks, skaters and other ne'er do wells dancing past penguin suited and fancy frock types in the foyer area during their intermission. A mixture of horrified, terrified and confused faces watched us conga our way out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went on a German exchange in 5th year, the lad I paired with bought me a german pop album, by the group below. Shittest album ever. I still speak to him on twitter, he's a boffin physicist for Bayer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escobarp Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 17 minutes ago, Mr Grey said: Some of them just try to be clever and haven't a clue. I watched an interview last night, Ian Collins, he was interviewing some dude from BLM and the dude wanted people to go on a national register if they were found guilty of being racist (the racist regester) and within a minute he called Collins 'white privileged', tbf to Collins he didnt respond to the comment and kept his cool, then asked him further down the interview if that also applies to people calling someone 'White privileged', could that term be deemed as racist and offensive, in the end the BLM fella didn't really know what he wanted, he just seemed to be making it up as an excuse to be wanting a protest March, of which the Police wouldn't police, so it's been taken to the high court, Collins stated that in 20 years time we will still be banging on about the same shit, and he is correct... imo. Morgan Freeman has it right, stop talking about it, but unfortunately it's on the main news and across the media and social media ever day. I am trying to just ignore it, it takes over your fucking life, but its everywhere and the worrying thing is, if there was a racist register, nobody would dare to speak in public in case it's taken out of context, its fucking frightening! Saw something on twatter before where police were lined up in front of a massive group of black protestors who had been causing mayhem. Trying to keep them on one side of a road. Other side was far less white people and some small shops. Apparently “right there is systemic racism” as the police look to POLICE the black protestors who were causing trouble. They were literally lined up as you would see anywhere. It’s just crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poll Tax protest in the 90's brought Maggie down, she never really recovered, that's people power and on an issue were the majority of the country disagreed. That's how you protest and can make a difference. The met police have had enough, they are not willing to put the force in a situation were they are attacked and abused, they have rights too, people forget that. Poll tax; whilst equitable law, it was poor politics, it was never going to fly. She'd lost it by then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
