hey thanks for all your comments. i'm very much looking forward to sunday. i think it's fairly worrying that a large percentage of people will only listen to a specific genre of music. specifically in the case of 13, 14 year olds who will only listen to emo/punk etc, because it's a very eiltist attitude to have. There is so much fantastic music out there. The sound engineer and I have become friends. But the friendship started badly because i walked into the room and said, "What the hell is this crap music, turn it off!" It turned out to be a very talented band. My personal taste is very different from his, but conversations with him have reinforced what i think about music. In my opinion, music is an artform, and you get; for example; pop art and visual art, just like you get pop music and indie music. I think open mindedness (in music) is the key its enjoyment! Do you agree milner? I was in a spoof punk outfit when i was 16 (Paralysis) and i loved every minute because it was so much fun. But I grew up on the musical influences of my parents and branched out from there. (to cut a long story short see my biography page) I was fortunate enough to catch Emma's solo stuff when i went to see Simon Gall band at Drummonds and I am thoroughy looking forward to hearing her perform again.
