Musical tastes - very broad - prog, jazz, rock, funk, classical, electronica, blues, pop - you name it really - if I like it I like it - the genre doesn't matter.
Names - Rush, Zappa, Porcupine Tree, Kraftewerk, Steve Hackett, Brand X, Flower Kings, Frost
I play bass guitar too so I do like the likes of Percy Jones, Marcus Miller, Stanley Clarke, Jonas Hellborg etc etc
Have been going to a lot of classical music concerts in Cardiff - in the bay - a venue called Hoddinot Hall - its part of the Millenium Center and is a fantastic rehearsal space for the National Orchestra of Wales. Can recommend it if you live anywhere near South Wales. Plus some of the concerts are free - you don't know what that means to a Scot like myself....
The free concerts tend to be recordings for BBC Radio 3 - a recent programme about Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition was just fab - incredible dynamics. I can't imagine what you'd have to spend to get your system to sound like that !
What gigs have I been to of late - Steve Hackett, Porcupine Tree, Michael Schenker - off to see Riverside/Pineapple Thief on the 16th Nov (Bilston) - possibly Senser in Cardiff on 12th Nov. Have tickets for Gong/Steve Hillage in Bristol and Rammstein in Brum in Feb.
Looking forward to getting the old TT back in action !
Cheers
