“I'm still waiting for a performance of the "Sibelfaulty concerto in F sharp"
Still,the "stars in their eyes" of Rumours of Fleetwood Mac at 'only' £22.50 will have to do!!!”

“Glad to see that the Bristol Metropolitan Orchestra has uncovered a previously unknown composer in Sibeliue when they could be playing the Violin Concerto in D minor by Sibelius (as is advertised).”
