Been catching up with my brother over the weekend about the sad loss of Burke Shelley from Budgie last week. He reminded me of this appearance by Budgie on TOGWT in 1975. If you are not familiar, or need reminding, of what a brilliant power trio they were then check this out

Anyone tried streaming Bruckner’s Symphony No. 8 by Berliner Philharmoniker, and conductor Herbert von Karajan on Qobuz.
The tracks are:-
1 Symphony No. 8, in C Minor, WAB 108 II: IV. Finale, feierlich, nicht schnell
2 Symphony No. 8, in C Minor, WAB 108 II: III. Adagio - Feierlich langsam, doch nicht schleppend
3 Symphony No. 8, in C Minor, WAB 108 II: II. Scherzo - Allegro moderato
4 Symphony No. 8, in C Minor, WAB 108 II: I. Allegro moderato.
It’s a new way of listening.

Robin Trower / Maxi Priest / Livingstone Brown - United State of Mind.
One from last year, this unlikely combination of musicians actually produce a beautiful soulful, relaxing vibe.
Belter!

Richard & Linda Thompson - Pour Down Like Silver
Why? Well, mostly because I watched some of Ricky Gervais’s After Life series 3 and a piece reminded me of Dimming of the Day.

Al Stewart - Time Passages
I’ve enjoyed the music of Al Stewart since I was introduced to him whist at university. On this album I particularly like the track entitled The Palace of Versailles.

Karl Jenkins - The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace - Qobuz
After the Rutter Magnificat at the end of November, last week we started practicing for The Armed Man. Our conductor did admit that the Rutter was more challenging than he had remembered from 10 years previously. A bit of an understatement!This most famous work of Karl Jenkins is much easier to count the beats.
Well worth a listen and for anyone near enough to mid Gloucestershire you might like to come to our performance.
