I’m doing theatre tech again…”The Lion King Jr” It’s wonderful because I get to play God. I’ve created a three minute African sunrise for the opening number, and a starry night on the plains for “Can you feel the love?” But this is the song from that musical that has always blown me away - “Shadowla...

Thread revival one year on!

“Nella Fantasia” is an Italian song set to the “Gabriel’s Oboe” tune from “The Mission” (Ennio Morricone)

Very well done Ireland. I hope they or France can show up against the SH teams in RWC in the autumn.

The reason is to do with the altitude of the Sun above the horizon throughout the year, which is all to do wi...

It’s that time of year again. A few interesting facts from the Time and Date website We tend to think of the Equinox as a day, or even as a group of days around the Equinox when we experience roughly equal amounts of daylight and dark. In fact, it is a mere instant in time, because the position of t...

@Paul Drawmer I would say that is true of the C5 Malvern as well.
