Aha, you are busted, you closet hippy! Mind you, Squeeze are there and I love them, one band I've never seen. (Have to admit, I've seen quite a few in that line-up, Levellers included, lol).

I hadn't heard of that festival, and it's pretty close to where I live too. Was considering Bestival, which is even nearer, but I've got something else on that weekend, boo.

Never heard of any of the bands, but that's pretty normal for me. I was a music minor in college and must admit I'd recognize Beethoven or Bach a lot faster than any modern band. I played oboe.

This first YouTube rendition has all the feeling a great organist can put into the Toccata and Fugue of Bach. The organ itself is very old and ornate and beautiful to see. Compare it to the next YouTube below.

If anyone cares, this second YouTube is worth watching a bit of, just for the absolutely MASSIVE organ with all the pipes used for Bach's work. It's bigger than my house. The organist is inferior to the first in my opinion.

I had Toccata and Fugue for my ringtone on my cell phone before I had to get a new phone.

Ah, I never really managed to get into classical music, I like opera but, I know this is awful, but I love to sing so I really need something with lyrics

Then how about the Hallelujah Chorus by Handel? The words should be easy. 8-)
