Flyer Forum Code of Conduct

At its best, the Flyer Forum continues to be a valuable resource for the General Aviation community

It is a place where flyers of all experience levels can meet to discuss and exchange up-to-date undistorted...

I went to a concert given by the graduating students of the Yehudi Menuhin School at the Wiggy on Tuesday.

This was the first year that a guitarist has graduated, so I had to sit through a piece by Albeniz. At first it seemed pretty enough, but...

Evening all,

As daft as this may sound, with the big Day on its way, what music do you all assosiate with Remembrance Day Parades?

Also as daft as this sounds, what is the second bugle call called that follows the 2 mins scilence after the...

About to buy some tickets to see this lad in Huntingdon

Any good???

Anyone who has heard him play live, care to pass an opinion before I hand over my credit card details and wast e16 quid and a friday evening on the p&$$

I have read the...

B*gger!

Status Quo gig in Ipswich on Thursday cancelled : drummer unwell.

Rescheduled 17.2,09

Peter :(

Oo, a chance for a Thomas Dolby fix.

I currently have an office environment where I can listen to music and not disturb anyone else and, in this miserable weather, I have been browsing the US internet radio stations and really enjoying some of the Country Music ones :lol:

There's a...

In search of some fun, I was attracted to his show Bill Baileys Guide to the Orchestra.

Its billed as a lot of irreverent fun and worth seeing

Has anyone seen it?

Have I made a mistake?

Any Oasis fans on the forum? Anyone planning on getting tickets for there 2009 tour?

My 1st born has a major birthday coming up and when asked for his present desires, he replied that he would like a new bass guitar.

I went shopping with him on Sat in Denmark St in London and didn't really come out any wiser than we went in....

Ok, so I run about them a bit but I saw them at the Cambridge Corn exchange on Monday and they were superb!! A few first-night hiccups, such as the first song collapsing in a heap after 90 seconds but it all added to the fun.

Not only is the...

This ravishing, dream like work from 1651 is beautifully sung and played by expert specialist singers and a large period instrument band from the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, but the gimmicky production, in which Jove courts the eponymous...

No time to give a full review, but the Cav and Pag is very mixed, in that the Cav is pretty awful and the Pag is quite superb.

It was very odd that there was only one set for the Cav, set inside a community hall, of all places, and the whole...

My piano teacher has suggested that I learn the Maple Leaf Rag.

I had a quick look at the first few bars and it looks a bit advanced for a grade 2 student? Yikes!

One that I'd like to play is Debussy's Reverie; I've had a go at the first page...

Has anybody here played one? They sound very nice from what I've heard on youtube.

Listening to Rick Wakeman on "Rock-on tv" 260 on sky, down to earth guy with an extraordinary talent, on 'Till 3 o' clock.

As much as I've been banging their drum for years I never expected for a moment that they would get past the nomination for the Mercury to win.

Seldom Seen Kid did it proving that ugly old duffers don't have to be past it :)

Wow, went to an amazing performance by Preston Reed tonight, I highly recommend him to anyone if he is performing near you. Well worth it!!!! :lol:

I was listening to some really nice violin music by Thomas Linley the younger the other day and the commentator mentioned all the other connections to this young man, including the fact that Mozart really rated him and thought he was cool.....ahem...

Having dabbled with the bass guitar off-and-on for many years - about the same as Morley by all accounts but being very far (through lack of practice) from the virtuoso that he undoubtedly must be :oops: , I thought I'd dabble a bit more by...

Those bobbing promenaders really pi$$ me off. Do they think they are being funny? And as for all that flag waving - I see they didnt cut to Belfast when Jerusalem was playing.

How did the gorgeous Ms Perkins do in the park?

I'm after a new challenge and after Mrs eltonioni discounted duelling banjos the choice has been narrowed down to either a violin or a bass guitar.

Any advice for a lousy guitar basher with ideas above his station?

I'm going to be playing keyboard/synthesiser for a couple of bands soon (rock) and I'm completely at a loss, as a piano player, as to what keyboard to go for.

To date, we've been playing on my Yamaha CLP280 digital piano at home with the CD on...

Her single "Warwick Avenue" is fab.

I'll say that again....

Opera house targets Sun readers

Maybe I'm completely wide of the mark, but if this were a Venn diagram, then I'm not perceiving a large intersection :roll:

Don Giovanni is regularly mauled by directors and designers - they seem to be determined to muck about with it. The current ROH revival of a production dating from 2002 features a certain amount of mucking about, but is so well cast and well sung...

Any one tried this site yet for classical music downloads? went online today (12th Sept) It seems.. :) BBC Report here

Im after some new in-ear headphones for mein I-Pod Touch.

Any views on the best, upto £100?

TIA

I watched Claptons crossroads tour 2007 from Chicago the other night on Sky, Jeff Beck was one of the featured guitarists, very different style, interesting use of tremolo and volume control, but what really impressed me was the young girl on bass,...

No, not that one, this one

I'd not heard of her before, she has a rich contralto voice which reminds me of Julia Fordham, with a bit of Annie Lennox' soulfulness and a side-order of Tracy Chapman in the songwriting.

Worth a listen, it...

Well, he has now. Isaac Hayes has cashed in his Soul, Man. Mmm, hmm, dayymn right, brother.

South Park bad taste tribute episode in the pipeline, one hopes.

Bout this time every year we generally have a clutch of despairing comments regarding the proms and how it is all going to pot and the BBC not living up to Henry's vision etc etc.

This is followed by complaints about the TV little red buttons...

Went to see him at the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester yesterday as part of the Manchester Jazz Festival.

Fab, just fab. He's touring at the mo', I'd recommend it.

On a related matter, it was a double-header, the first half was a Manchester...

This is an international touring production celebrating the 50th anniversary of WSS. It uses the original production and choreography and reproduces it faithfully.

The singing and dancing is quite superb, and well worth going (though beware,...

A spell checker just suggested Schubertian should be changed to Schubert, Ian . :lol:

An interesting evening out because it is so rarely put on.

The production was superb (whatever the critics said), the music interesting in that it is so closely based on Mozart operas (particularly CFT, but also MoF) but not to my taste, the...

For a start:

Celine Dion

Cliff Richard

Robbie Williams

Just got back from seeing his live show at the UEA, Norwich. If you like his music and his tour comes to place near you then I can strongly recommend going. An excellent night out!!

"Albert Herring" is perhaps Britten's lightest piece for the stage, but it has a sting in its tail, and music of great sophistication and interest as well as a witty and insightful libretto. Gentle satire of English rural life, combined...

A brief review: great (one of the greatest) operas by great(est) composer; great production, great cast, great orchestra, great conductor, great fun. Still a few performances to go and a few tickets left. The Ivy is currently on cracking form for...

Does anyone want one or a couple of tickets?

Nina is away for the weekend and I am in two minds whether to go (if someone wants to join me) or simply not to go at all.

I grey up through the baggy jeans and dangly belt fashions and never managed to shake my love of Jazz Funk

I came across this tonight and it made me tingle again the way it did the first time I saw Roy Ayers do it in Ronnie Scott's many years ago...

[/img[img

I wasn't quite sure what to expect, never been to Glyndebourne and don't know the Opera. It's a seductive place, beautiful when the sun shines and you feel very relaxed there.

But what a production, not everyone agreed with me, but I though...

I heard this band last Spring and was absolutely bowled over by their musicianship and wit.

I was delighted to see that they are doing a short season in Edinburgh in August.

I recommend them very highly and suggest that anyone who can possibly...

...now that I've got your attention.

I was in Soho last night and walked into Zavvi - they had a large vinyl section including 7" chart singles, haven't seen those for years, so I bought one. Duffy - Warwich Ave.

Putting that on the...

I went to see the LGSO last night at Cadogan Hall. Thoroughly enjoyed that :D

Celine Dion is responsible for the world's worst cover version, a poll of music experts has decided .

I haven't heard her rendition yet.

Iceman 8)

Anyone going?

Coverage on BBC incidental channels looks pretty good.

A couple of guys at work are going. I asked about the 'star turn' and one of them said "You mean that jay zed ?" Not popular I suspect.

Was it a mistake having...

I have had the misfortune to see the Sugarbabes live on TV twice in the last week at Mandela's 90th and the IOW Festival - live they are simply appalling.
