Music, Whats your fave

[John H]

The Travelling Wilburys... and all the artists who were in it.... especially the Big O!

Traveling Wilburys - Handle With Care {Music Video} - YouTube

I mean, what a band! Roy, Bob, Jeff, George and Tom !

RIP Roy and George.

Me sir, me sir, I did.......... the Big O was on my list. Totally agree about the Travelling Wilburys - my copy is the thickness of tissue paper after all the plays it has had! :fun:

Like Caspar my first degree is in music and my greatest love is for classical stuff but I also love some, but not all, folk music and tend to like a little bit of most type of music.

Favourites (at the moment - it changes from day to day):

Schubert: Piano Trios - especially the one in E flat
Schubert: Die Winterreise song cycle especially the songs 'Gute Nacht' and 'Der Leiermann' but all of them
Schubert: Die Schone Mullerin song cycle especially 'Der Jager' and 'Die Liebe Farber'
(yes, I like Schubert - a lot! definitely my favourite composer)
Rachmaninov: Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini (my first instrument is piano so not surprising, really)
Prokofiev: Pictures at an Exhibition
Sibelius: Karelia Suite
Richard Strauss: Four Last Songs

REM: anything and everything
Dire Straits: anything and everything
Dave Brubeck: Take Five
The Time Bandits (Chester based folk group): Christmas Day in the Morning

That's just today's choices - tomorrow would be completely different.

Hi Marilyn :wave: It seems we are quite close to each other, I recognised this name though Ive actually never seen them Ive seen their gigs advertised and when I looked up their website I even know the artist who has done the sketches on it.

Don't have a favourite. I like most music. Kind of draw the line at X-Factor divas, club, pretty-boy bands, hip-hop and happy hardcore - though there's even bits of that stuff that I'll listen to.


Big likes, though... The Beatles, The Smiths, REM, NIN, Eels, Gary Numan, Rachmaninov, blues, early Neil Diamond, U2, Neil Young, Johnny Cash, Bruce... :rockroll:

ahh how could i nave forgotten Neil and U2 2 of the best acts weve seen at glasto

Hi Just Jane :wave:
If you get the chance to hear The Time Bandits take it - they are absolutely brilliant and I'm not just saying that because they're friends of mine. Maybe I'll see you at one of their gigs.

Helen, the fiddle player in The Time Bandits runs a French Music and Dance session on the first Monday of every month in the Deaf Centre in Chester. It's an excellent night out - you can play or dance or both (but not at the same time ) or just sit and listen. If you're nearby and at a loose end sometime drop in and say hello - I'm always there unless really poorly!

Edited to say: I know Adele too, although only to say hello to. Very talented artist isn't she?
