Hello all - sorry if this has been posted before!
Radio 3 in conjunction with the Welsh National Orchestra are holding freebie concerts at the Wales Millennium Centre and as a non-classical music lover who went for the first time last week just for a laugh - they are FAB! (off to see the harpist Catrin Finch tonight for free....)

Yeees, get you! ... you .... you 'culture vulture' you!

You're ob. more sophisticated than you care to admit - think we could convert you to 'culture vulture' proper yet, however, we will ob. have to watch out for those Bud. fingers!!!!!!

In the meantime .... thanks Sassers - great opp. for those who can use it.

lol I have to admit the Ramones and Metallica are more my `bag' but I was knocked out by the orchestra the other night. Especially when they really started going for it! The conductor even started the `Blur Song 2' bounce towards finale of one song. It was hilarious....
