A night (or two) at the opera

My head is full or wonderful music - last night we went to see Cosi fan Tutte, sung by Opera Northat Newcastle's beautiful Theatre Royal.

Tonight I'm off to see Manon Lescaut.

Looking forward to ...

'In Praise of Dreams': Jan Garbarek
'Hymns of the 4pth Parallel': k.d.Lang

Both out tomorrow

Oops - ain't got the technology

Spent all yesterday afternoon and evening recording most of my Cds onto my computer with SonicStage. This morning I spent 3 hours trying everything I could think of, going through all the troubleshooting techniques I know, to record the music onto a CD for my new Sony Atrac3 CD player to take on my hols tomorrow. And, guess what? Mark reminded me that I don't have a CD rewrite drive! It hadn't occured to me, if the two bits of the computer would talk to each other in one direction, that they wouldn't in the other! Now I'll just be able to take a few CDs (instead of my entire collection) and wait until I get home again to buy and install the necessary hardware.

Kathryn Tickell tour

Kathryn calls the tune for students
Folk musician Kathryn Tickell didn't have far to look when she was putting together a band for her latest tour – they were all in her classroom.The Northumbrian pipe player has played around the world in a 20-year musical career, but for the last three years she has also been a part-time lecturer on Newcastle University's folk and traditional music degree course.
