's page of musical links
Including things I'm not a member of! This page is biassed to
the 'local' professionals, including promoters - I'll see about adding
us amateurs and concert societies later.

venues • An EXCEL file that I've not yet managed to view.
Mr Woollard's monster unofficial
site, is still around with links to official ones. Here's a few of
the orchestras that regularly venture within an hour or so Dursley/Gloucester.
The main site covers
orchestras and halls world-wide - plus the odd parallel universe?
• The text-only
original was a perfect riposte to Webmasters who crammed sites with Java,
frames, pretty pictures etc., but left their concert
listings six months out of date! (Oops.pot.kettle.black: recent
system problems stopped me updating my own for nearly a year.)
Performers and Venues
Official sites, again biased to what's within an hour of Dursley/Gloucester.
Regular visitors to this site - if any there be - will notice that I've
added a few real and several non-links, and re-arranged it all in a vaguely
descending order of scale. And then mucked about with it.

Different category, same rules!
General Information
Explore this site and you mightl find a lot of links to the first two at
least! That's because:
-
If they post it, I assume they want us to read it,
-
I know nothing.
I could copy from books, but the WEB is a dumb place to hide breach-of-copyright
evidence. Anyway, the Classical Music Pages use Grove's Concise Dictionary,
which is what I'd copy! Or I could copy from our concert programmes
- but no-one would buy them on the night!
And Finally...
Someone once said that he played the notes the same as everyone else: it
was the spaces between them that turned them into music. Here are some
people campaigning for more of the spaces!
