Another fantastic concert at the Coro last week

The Manchester Camerata visits Ulverston again to a very full hall.

Great enthusism, great playing, by players and audience alike ( the audience played by paying full attention and clapping their hands with vigour when appropriate resulting in many sore hands.

I'm late with this posting but it made a big impression and set me up with loads of enthusiasm for 'living' afterwards - something that is still having an effect.

This is what art is all about.

People say it's pointless but if it motivates us to get involved with our work and play, to be positive to each other and knuckle down and face difficult jobs, then :

Isn't it worth every penny spent on it.

Watch out for cuts by a shortsighted government supported by depressed people who miss the point of valuing the arts.

A country that values art will be fairing a lot better in thse times of hardship than the rest - here I don't mean financially but with a large percentage of its population enjoying life and very little depression about.

Make sense?
