Out tonight to see Carlos Alomar, George Murray, Kevin Armstrong, Tal Bergman and more doing Bowie '76-'80.
Lead singer was Cunio. Very strong, and at least a three octave range.
Keys was Axel Tosca. He did a solo that sounded to me like a romantic classical piece. Can anyone tell me?

Congratulations to the red half of my adopted home city. Commiserations to the blue one. Hope it went smoothly.

Didn't know this. Just listened. It's really good. A definite find. Thanks.

And my audition earlier I think went decently, for me. I'm OK, but no great singer. However, this one I love.

Here's the choir version. I love the original. I happened to be in Austria (on honeymoon, obv) when it first came out and it was on MTV heavy rotation. It's a brilliant pop song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OY-...
I've heard it hundreds and hundreds of times. Still no idea what most of the lyrics are.

Settling down to pick my choices for tomorrow's #WeeklyMusicCall. I saw Robert Plant has done a Tiny Desk, so I'll check that.
But, of course, I'm listening to a choral version of Nur Ein Wort that I played a couple of months ago.

Hi there. I'm enjoying these. Have you got a public list up of all these? I'd be interested to check the 4+ ones I don't know. And to complain if any T. Rex record doesn't get at least ⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2.

Well, I'm in Bolsover to sing. Including an audition later. See how much of what I intend I remember in the moment.

And the evenings start getting later again from about the 12th. Mornings getting early isn't until about New Year though.

Struggling. I've had a long, strong run, for me. Fear it's in jeopardy. Oh well.

Just off a mixed #WeeklyMusicCall. A couple of duds, but also some very strong ones. Including, in the latter camp this, by Ellur. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wDS...

Not long out of Sunny Afternoon, The Kinks musical. With friends in York.
A v slow lunch beforehand. The sound wasn't 100%. But the songs, the songs...
Some lovely arrangements too. I tip my hat to whoever did Days a capella. Others were really well done too. Must listen to the cast album at home.

I went for the first time recently. Really interesting, but how come there's virtually no nave?

A salary of £1,000 billion is so far beyond obscene that there aren't even words for it. Farcical that it got voted through.

I've seen The Unthanks at the namesake in Nottingham and Maren Morris last night at the Manchester version. Both good venues. Manchester especially.
And go see Lawrence if you can. They're back over soon, and superb.

Well, this is excellent. And right.
I am a bit conflicted, mind. Yes, you deserve a wider stage. But it's fabulous seeing you in a small venue.

With my mate who runs the choir I'm in, we started a #WeeklyMusicCall in lockdown. Two hours of playing new-to-the-other music, of any genre, time, place. We're still going. Have learned a huge amount.

Oh, I still listen to them. Though less so than I did, simply as the range I listen to has expanded a lot over the last few years. From Tallis through jazz, folk, country. I'm going to see Rattle conduct Stravinsky soon. Plus Lawrence, who are as good a live band as I've ever seen.

Watching last night's #GirlGroups show from BBC2. Pretty much a solid wall of absolute bangers. Well, one or two less epic. But it's got B*Witched, who had that 2 mins 57s of pop perfection with C'est L Vie. Clearly the most important.
