        I forgot about it. I've just put it on and what I get is some welsh bloke singing in kraut about cobblers!
        How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

I would have loved to have gone along as I am a big fan. I think the box is for 4 or 5. Only two of them will enjoy it (him and daughter no. 2), the others will hate it. Maybe one of 'em will drop out and I'll get a chance to go.
            Having a box at the proms is fun, especially if you have a few of you and a picnic as some people seem to do.

            Though the Albert Hall can be quiet hot and stuffy during high summer.
            I didn't get to go.

            They are there now. I've got Radio 3 on though. The announcer said that it's a full house.

              Sorry to hear you missed out. This chap is a bit handy on the old joanna isn't he?
              I like a bit of Beethoven myself - darn good tunes.

                You sure you have not stumbled across a Plaid Cymru Party Political Broadcast by mistake HAB?

                    You might be able to get a ticket for later in the season?

                      Enjoyed Simon Boccanegra on Sunday; going back tomorrow for Shostakovich 7th et al.

                      There is an amazing story behind Shostakovich 7th "Leningrad" which you can read here:
                      Part 1
                      Part 2
