I've just hot footed it (ie driven carefully and legally) back from The Barbican, where we saw Hélène Grimaud playing a stunning recital of piano works based around the theme of water, along with a Brahms piano sonata.

A superb performance, with three encores.

And, Hélène Grimaud ... well, one feels that one would if one were unattached ... and if she was, you know ...

Anyway, fab night, and ... Gig Of The Week?

Yes, it is, tony.

That's how she had it tonight.
Ah the wonders of hair dye, jj.

Stick to brown, I say.
Thought you might, jj. But remember that Blondes have more fun, it must be true c'us Rod Stewart said so.
So what's it to be next Saturday, JJ?

The Eurovision Song Contest or this superb alternative just down the road from you?

I hold the Hallé in great affection. Back in my student days in Sheffield my two best friends were studying music (and I'm a clasical music fan too). During the concert season the Hallé (under the wonderful James Loughran - or 'our Jimmy' as he was known to audiences) performed in Manchester and Sheffield on alternate Fridays, so we all got our fortnightly dose of culture (plus a few bevvies afterwards, of course!).

A great pianist too!

The Hallé. Aren't the Classic FM's "Orchestra In The North West"?

Or is that someone in Liverpool.

Hallé or Eurovision wouldn't be a hard decision!
