Thanks! I saw some publicity about this ages ago and then completely forgot about it!

Re: Concerto in Edinburgh
tx for the link Big J - need to get a ticket. According to the seating plan about half of the tickets have been sold already with 5 months still to go!
just read the link saying that the band for the night is from Stevensons College just along in Edinburgh. Apparently they were stunned to find Jon Lord walking in to the college recently to take them through what they would be playing. Great story

Re: Concerto in Edinburgh
The whole programme sounds really interesting:
quote:
a special element will be seeded into the programme where Cunningham and Lord will have a jam session, folk style
quote:
Additionally, in the first half of the monster programme, the RSAMD and Stevenson jazz bands will combine for a 20-minute session conducted by Thomson himself, while the traditional musicians from conservatoire and college will do the same in a 15-minute slot directed by Cunningham.
quote:
There is, of course, only one way to end such a night. Lord, at his beloved Hammond, will lead the massed rock and orchestral forces in an orchestrated performance of the Deep Purple anthem Child in Time.
I will be in row 7
