vegan friendly, progressive, rewilder & EU rejoiner - save the planet! - cricket, & mostly 70s rock, prog., post punk & classical music

energetic & magical performance by the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra in Birmingham - the Firebird was electrifying, although as it chimed at the majestic finale, I was expecting Yes to bound onto the stage! @BMusic_Ltd @yesofficial

[David Holloway @dossaferds]

actually, Glastonbury just saved by some proper talent at last - #NeilYoung

[David Holloway @dossaferds]

watching #PinkFloyd at Pompeii rather than #Glastonbury2025 - just feels more spiritual & enlightening

[David Holloway @dossaferds]

so it's the last year of the #TourdeFrance on terrestrial TV in the UK - shocking! - this could have been so much more of a programme also with a geographical, culinary and cultural exploration of that part of France which the stage was passing through

[David Holloway @dossaferds]

perfect day of proper cricket at New Road, capped off by a super Worcs. win @WorcsCCC

[David Holloway @dossaferds]

The Waterboys in Birmingham - great live band! - a pagan place, the whole of the moon, & life, death and Dennis Hopper @WaterboysMusic @MickPuck @PAULBROWNAP63 - plus fab support from @zervaspepper

the mighty #Hawkwind in #Birmingham last night...another amazing cosmic adventure from the travellers of time & space @HawkwindHQ

[David Holloway @dossaferds]

@StuartSly @BMusic_Ltd @uriah_heep they were marvellous - people standing in the stalls from the get-go - just hope they do more tours

[David Holloway @dossaferds]

you can't keep a good band down! - the magnificent #UriahHeep in Birmingham last month @BMusic_Ltd - wah-wah riffs & magician's guitar solos aplenty @uriah_heep

[David Holloway @dossaferds]

dossaferd's #AlbumOfTheYear is #luckandstrange by #DavidGilmour - close call with The Cure's - but while both were wistful & yearning, luck & strange had more adventure & musicianship - sad I didn't get a ticket for the RAH

first attendance last night since lockdown at a @TheCBSO concert at @BMusic_Ltd and it didn't disappoint - a very exuberant pictures at an exhibition and sublime Mozart piano concerto no. 27 - on the BBC proms tonight @bbcproms

[David Holloway @dossaferds]

@YesSolidMental @bbcproms @BBCPhilharmonic @nicholascollon @annaclyne just wondering what your thoughts on a prog rock interpretation? - but nothing can replace the ondes martenot ....

[David Holloway @dossaferds]

Wow what an experience! - just been captivated by Messiaen's Turangalila Symphony at the BBC proms, and also enjoyed the Gorgeous Nothings @bbcproms @BBCPhilharmonic @nicholascollon @annaclyne

[David Holloway @dossaferds]

@YesSolidMental @bbcproms @BBCPhilharmonic @nicholascollon @annaclyne Unfortunately no, but watched on #BBC4 & was totally engrossed/immersed - although I do attend concerts to watch my local orchestra - the CBSO - a lot, going to the Proms remains on my bucket list

[David Holloway @dossaferds]

Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets live in Birmingham from last night - scintillating, refined and exciting - especially superb performances of Set the Controls, Echoes and SoS @NMSOSOfficial

[David Holloway @dossaferds]

Yes - sublime, tight and radiant in Birmingham symphony hall last night - turn of the century was particularly amazing @yesofficial @YesMusicPodcast @YesSolidMental

[David Holloway @dossaferds]

I will just have to keep hold of my memories of seeing David Gilmour and the rest of Pink Floyd performing The Wall live at Earls Court in 1980 & 1981 @pinkfloyd @Just_pinkfloyd

[David Holloway @dossaferds]

The issue with the David Gilmour tickets pre-sale was that I had already pre-ordered my LP to support my local independent record store - so that when it came to the general public sale today, I stood no chance @davidgilmour

[David Holloway @dossaferds]

Some great eclectic gains from #Stourbridgerecordfair today - thanks to @rcrdcltr for organising & @Rockville_Recds

[David Holloway @dossaferds]

Great space ritual by #Hawkwind in Wolverhampton last night - really enjoyed the songs off the new album - #storiesfromtimeandspace @HawkwindHQ @HawkwindMachine @MagnusMartin4
