STEWART COPELAND

I saw this on a visit to Stewart's music publisher:

05 JUL 2012
- Gamelan D'Drum UK Premiere
Royal College of Music, London
RCM Percussion and Orchestra

I wasn't one of the lucky 5 or so Nutters to see the premiere in Dallas last year, but have listened to it dozens of times. This is my all time favorite Stewart-composed piece now.

So I hope the London area Nutters and others can attend this.

Ooooooooh that is going in the diary!! Thanks njperry.

cool.

Yikes, airfare over $1200 but still tempting!

I have a feeling it's no coincidence that this one is in the middle of summer.

It's the middle of an English summer l-v. We won't need a sled but kayaks may be required.

Thanks for spotting this njperry. It's not listed on the RCM website yet, but it's in the diary!

oooooh! That sounds awesome! GO!

Crap. It's two days before I have good tix to see Ringo on his birthday, which means special guests, at the Ryman. Hopefully Stewart understands that one of the only people who can keep me from his shows is an actual Beatle. 8^)

Excellent.

If I hadn't had so much problems with my internet connection lately, I would have said this much sooner: GO! All you UK folks, GO! All you frequent flyers from elsewhere, GO! Anyone who can, GO! You won't regret it.
As for me, I'll have to bask in the secondhand gamelan joy this time around. I'll be busy taking a summer course or two by then.

Well damn, that's seriously tempting too - and potentially more affordable than another trip to the UK this year!
