Re: Hindolveston Concert 11 August
Hi Gordon Very much appreciated the concert last night as always, and especially for 'Sultan4swing' to be able to get to say hello.... A nice atmosphere with lots of locals, good balanced sound system, and the excellent Brasilian dance music on classical guitar warm-up from Andrew.... Nice to have a...

Gordon's August notes comment on Fylde
Gordon, Interested in your comment re the Fylde, 'which still played well after 5 years'...... Please correct me but the comment gave the impression that it was almost a surprise that this should be so ??? Surprised me because a guitarist of your stature particularly, and anyone else who has long gu...

Paul Simon's last tour
Sad to see this is the last tour of this iconic singer/songwriter.... who to many of us 'oldies' , was the epitomy of the 60's folk movement, when songs actually said something ... !!!!! Even sadder, and for me a cruel twist of timing, is that under any other circumstances, I would have got to this ...

Sound balancing at concerts - a personal bug-bear
Interested to know if this is an issue to other contributors.... Several times recently I 've paid good money to hear good bands, and it's been spoiled by so-called 'professional' sound engineers. It seems that these guys only interpret dials/sliders on their consul to produce the balance and don't ...

Xuefei Yang - Norfolk
[b]It's not often Norfolk gets to host a guitarist of Xuefei Yangs calibre.... so if hearing one of the top 6 classical guitarists grabs you ... you might want to get hold of tickets while you can... She is doing a recital at Binham Priory on 18 August - tickets GBP18.... available via the Binham we...

Every Chris...

Re: Chepstow Drill Hall Concert - 26 April
Hi Steve... Looks like , by coincidence, you and I were at the same GG concert in Cheltenham - in 1989? (it was my home for some 47 years, and then 12 years in the FOD).. It was held in an anti-room. And like you - I was introduced to GG music thru 'Fear of the Dark', 'Perilous Journey'...... and 'P...
