Astonishing 50th anniversary gig last night by King Crimson @DGMHQ at the Royal Albert Hall. A real 'Red' letter day. Thanks to everyone involved. And two nights still to come!

Amazing performance by Camel at the @RoyalAlbertHall last night. And an amazing reaction from the audience. Whole band @Camel_Andylat, Andrew Latimer in particular, seemed really moved. #camelband #moonmadness

Another reminder Sunday of why @philharmonia is my favourite London orchestra. Symphonie Fantastique always grips but this was a thrilling, fast-paced performance under Paavo Jarvi. Every part of the orchestra on top form. And a great Rach 3 from supersub pianist Denis Kozhukhin.
