This is the place to air your views and make suggestions - even criticisms! You don't agree with what we said in other pages? Say so here.... but don't forget to say who you are and which local group you belong to.

On another page - Widening the boundaries - it has been suggested that we include jazz on this website. As a fully paidup ex-fan of 100 Oxford Street (Lyttleton), the Cy Laurie Club in Windmill Street and later Ronnie Scott's, you can be sure I am all in favour of jazz. But there is already a fully-formed and very active Jazz Group, and I really think it would be over-egging the pudding if we try to cater for every taste.

No. My opinion is that this should remain a resource for those who love classical music and folk music.

Hello. Just a quick question

I was wondering if this pbwiki is only for classical music or does it also cater for jazz, folk, blues and such music that we may not have a name for, but which is popular? In my case I enjoy the music of Bob Dylan, Kris Kristofferson, Simon and Garfunkel just to name a few. Are these also catered for here?

Thank you,

Charlie

Hello Charlie and welcome to the new pbwiki. I am also a fan of those three (4) singer/songwriters and am a Jazz and folk music buff also . However these are all likely to have their own outlets and fan bases. This wiki is designed purely as a Classical music drop-in.

Somehow I never could quite get on with Elgar; the exception being his lovely song 'Where Corals Lie', which you can listen to here sung by Clara Butt.
