I saw the shadows at the Gaumont in Rotherham, the Brookes Brothers on the same bill, Warpaint their one hit wonder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkieontheTyne Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Oh dear. To lower the tone…The Halle Orchestra conducted by Sir John Barbirolli at the city hall. The used to do matinee performances that today would be called “Concerts for Kids” or something similar. My dad took me after he’d finished work. The happiest times of my young life were spent with my dad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were taken every year from school to see the Halle, I used to look forward to it, my favorite was always the flight of the fire bird. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said , REALLY !!!! , I apologised & felt a right nut 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cressida Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Went to the Proms one year at the Bridgewater, spoilt by woman next to trying to push my arm off the armrest, I resisted because I'm good at that, after the interval she moved and one of her mates sat next to me - no problem. Worst thing was when I hurried for the tram a bloke chased after me, gave me his card and invited me to the Exchange Theatre - hmmm not likely! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkieontheTyne Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I know what you mean there lavery about Mahler. When it comes to classical music I’m much more ClassicFM than Radio 3. The New Years Day concert from Vienna on BBC 2 is a must for me, especially since retirement when I can watch it live as it were rather than the evening highlights due to working. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hauxwell Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Conductor John Wilson at the Sage Gateshead. He was magnificent, it was an evening of Hollywood movie musicals, a 70 piece orchestra and guest singers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
