If this picture is updated, don’t worry, I’ve a screenshot which I’ll upload later!

I’ve never been much of a music-buff but I’ve loved the double-CD for a long time. Last year we were unable to obtain tickets due to their popularity and my Dad actually bought them a year ago for last night’s show!

It may sound unnecessarily girly, but I found the whole first half extremely moving. The music was (in the traditional sense of the word) awesome and at exactly the right volume. What really made it, though, were the images that accompanied the musicians and singers on stage — simply perfect.

If you can get tickets (you can’t, actually) then I cannot recommend it enough. Really.

Reminder of what? I hear you say: this.

So when asked (openly) in a petition whether Scotland should prepare for a referendum on independence, I feel it is my duty to sign it.

It’s here if you want to too.

Sign the pledge to campaign against anti-semitism (which is on the rise again): Stop Anti-Semitism.
