and I see Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla and Patricia Kopatchinskaja are playing Bartok there in May.
Typical, I worked nearby for years and hardly ever had such musical class on hand. Further away now.
I will go to Ligeti Quartet the day before at Sheffield University, 2 May. I had hoped to be In Europe then to see Bob Dylan but you can’t be everywhere at once.

Just had an email. Teenage Fanclub coming down under to Auckland.
I met them in Tokyo around 92’. I had a good buddy who was a driver for them in the UK. Got to meet them back stage. I only really remember we were the hook up for them in Japan. I also ate most of the food they were provided for some reason😬
Hope I can get to it.
Just bought tix for the night the Experience Hendrix Tour comes to Milwaukee in March. This will be our 3rd time annually. This 2019 tour there will wont be any “abusive adlibs” by Zakk Wylde (sorry Mr Wylde, your Zakk Sabboth cover band rocks). Dave Mustaine & Joe Satriani are new this year.! The repeat lineup -young and old- are all tried and true INCREDIBLE. I can’t wait to see & of course hear all the vintage gear again.
…and very good they were, too, and lovely people to talk to. If you’re into this sort of music, they’re in Bristol tonight, then a couple of London gigs - well worth a go…
