MUSIC - What are ASF members listening to?

Sir Edward Elgar is said to have composed his 'Enigma Variations' whilst daydreaming at the piano in the company of his wife, Alice. There is a central theme to the variations which are quite distinct and told to be pictures of various of Elgar's friends. The variation "Nimrod", herewith, was the result of encouragement to Elgar to keep composing by his friend, Augustus Jaegar.

I do like the Corrs too Tink...ya know i like my Metallica, but i have always had a soft spot for folk music. I guess its the acoustics, lots of strings and great vocals.

Here's Mumford and Sons.

I've got lots of modern music with folk aesthetics / themes, but this Neo-folk band was the first that came to mind...


The first full-length Woodsmoke is OK too.
 
Aww this is great Ves, thanks. Its a free download as well.

Yep, it certainly is. Occasionally lesser known acts are kind enough to let you have their albums free once they have been released for a few years.

Canoz seems we may have similar tastes in Music.

Zac Brown Band is great - awesome live - the boys can play a bit.

Thanks CanOz. There is not much in music I dont like, probably going towards thrash metal would be its limits. I like Metallica too.

We are very much a music family, I have mentioned before that my daughter sings and plays for many charities in her spare time.
 
I've been looking forward to the Fleetwood Mac, Aussie Tour for some months.

Now I get a letter telling me the tour is cancelled and I get an automatic refund...

I don't want a refund ... I want my concert!!

Yes, I saw that, burglar.
John McVie was having cancer treatment.
Hopefully all goes well.
