Concert tonight. Performing the Machaut mass and a piece by a modern composer called Tarik O'Reagan. Don't want to do it, can't be arsed. And I'll miss the DUCK slave auction, which could be amusing.

We went to Fishtank, because they were having an Indie/Alternative night. Nine of us left college, walked down a very long and very dark shortcut I'd never even noticed in daylight, and eventually found the place up another poorly lit side street. To call it a dive would be an understatement. It even smelled of ( Read more... )

Just got back from Revolver, the Indie night at the Student Union. Was very good. I danced. Possibly looked like a pillock. Don't really care. :D ( Read more... )

So the Durham Opera Ensemble is performing Humperdinck's Hansel and Gretel this year. Had an email about auditions. "Take along a song or aria to perform. There will also be tests of aural skill and range ( Read more... )
