Faure Requiem and Carnival of the Animals

Here's a shameless plug for a concert I'm organising and conducting in a few weeks time. It should be a great gig with lots of the best students and recent graduates from Edinburgh Uni involved and the music is a mix of popular French classics and some new pieces by students from the University. Best of all it's completely free!

Gallus Fever

Saw a friend from school for the first time in a while the other night and he mentioned a band he's in now. I don't normally listen to much pop/rock but when I do then this is the sort of thing which I like, with very good singing and some fantastic instrumentalists. So here's a video and you can also check out their myspace page here.
