I was tossing up wether to watch this last week, but the prices for bad seats were ridiculous, and the theatre in which it was on, in leicester square, has pillars dotted all over the auditorium so many seats are restricted or partially restricted view, its a shame because it looks really good. 

If you ever get the chance to see 'Once' dont miss it, one of the best musicals I have seen, it is also a film, its set in dublin about a busker who meets a polish girl, lots of fiddle banjo and guitar as well as singing, very funny , sad, and entertaining, the music was written by Glen Hansard. It actually won an oscar for best original song, I have seen it five times, once in dublin and four times in the west end over the years.

Just shows how brilliant a very simple chord sequence can sound, if you have the voice as well that is.

@ELCBK, Back to london week after next Emily and I have tickets in the stalls for Amelie, cant wait to see it, not stopped playing the music since you posted about it, also got tickets for 12th night and romeo and juliet at the globe, got a taste for shakespeare now.

Saw as you like it the other day and a friend of mine was playing the lead role Orlando, he is a drama student at leeds university great actor,.

@ELCBK The plague is getting me down as well, we used to travel a lot before all this started, which is the main reason we now go down to london instead, there are lots of things to do down there, especially now that theatre has re started.

You misread me about Amelie music, I meant I cant stop listening to it, I especially like the first violinist, she is rather passionate about her playing lol, I have bèen playing times are hard for dreamers though, now and again, but all my time is taken up with practising vibrato and the baroque that you know about.

Sorry to hear about your daughter but great news that she is getting better, always good to hear some positive news in these black times.
