There was probably a whole lot of scaffolding under that dress. 

Totally gorgeous though isn't she. ?
Apparently she's a lovely person too. 🙂

How many of U had music as part of your school education?

Apparently schools are going to be allowed an hour a week - well that wouldn't have got my clarinet warmed up!   As well as a lack of music teachers.  We had peripatetic teachers too.

I had one to one piano lessons in primary school and the same with guitar in secondary school but obviously needed to own the instruments.

[CLKD]

Our Authority had instruments available although I had a recorder and clarinet when it was recognised that I would stick to practicing 

[jaypo]

I wish I'd stuck to piano lessons,when I hear a great pianist, I always feel disappointed in myself that I didn't keep it up,I was actually ok,played until about the age of 18 but then the nightclubs beckoned lol
The clarinet was what I originally wanted to play but my mum couldn't afford one but we owned a piano so........

[CLKD]

I HATED practice, Mum would call me inside when we were playing a good game in the garden 

[jaypo]

I had a piano teacher come to the house every Tuesday after school,in the end I dreaded it too,so that was that 

[jillydoll]

I had a recorder, 
I ran around the house blowing all kinds of crap! 🤦‍♀️
My dad would say. TAKE THAT BLOODY THING OFF HER WILL YOU!!

I was part of the 1st recorder group in Primary Schools in the 1960s.  That led to clarinet. 

[jaypo]

You still do that to this day Jill,you just don't need the recorder 

[jillydoll]

Well. Yeah.

Many are closing prematurely or 2024 will be the last year for many due to rising costs

I went to Reading Festival a few years back and absolutely loved the whole atmosphere, even though I’m not much for camping in the mud. It rained so much my trainers never recovered, but I still think about those nights dancing in a field with friends and hearing my favorite bands live. My worst concert was probably indoors, surprisingly, a local venue with terrible sound so you couldn’t make out any lyrics, just bass thumping in your chest.

What’s funny is these days I’ve actually started making some tracks myself just for fun, experimenting with different genres using an ai music generator. It’s a cool way to create festival vibes at home when I can’t make it out to gigs.

I miss going to gigs but if I wasn't in the front row,it wasn't worth going for me. Best gig,Prince & Bowie oh and the chemical brothers were phenomenal

It was the Isle of Wight at the weekend  and Glasto begins on Friday - apparently  bound to rain then ?
