Fortunately, I'm a member at the South Bank Centre so was able to book today. I think public booking opens tomorrow. I'm also seeing Burt Bacharach there in July so it should be a great month

Peter, Hopefully Bacharach won't cancel on you. He was suppose to perform with the Pacific Symphony a couple weeks back and cancelled due to illness. I'm thinking I might just have to book a trip to England for the David Arnold concert. James Thanks for the info about Bacharach, James. I hope it's nothing too serious and he is able to continue his live performances. If you come over for the David Arnold concert, James, you'll be more than welcome. Quite a few of us going, I'm sure there will be a meet up.

Booked as well! This will actually be my first film music concert and I can't think of another composer I'd be more excited to see. David Arnold in London––and what a great lineup of scores. The big, sweeping themes of Dogmen, Stargate, and Independence Day will no doubt be highlights of the night, but I'm particularly excited that they've included The World is Not Enough and Quantum of Solace, two excellent scores that seldom are listed among his more popular titles. Lately I've been thinking that Quantum of Solace may actually be David Arnold's most accomplished James Bond score. Perhaps it was the rawer, less outlandish nature of the film itself that provided the inspiration, but there is a depth of emotion, a sense of desolation, of brokenness, and in the end, of quiet resolve, that makes Quantum of Solace feel richer in its own way than Arnold's previous four contributions to the series, as much as I love them each for their strengths. Anyway, great to see TWINE and QOS on there. Hopefully, Tomorrow Never Dies, Godzilla, or Die Another Day can get worked in as well, and I would just love to hear "No Good About Goodbye" as performed by Arnold for solo piano.
