7th December 2015

Today we celebrate the musical powerhouse that is Raymond Gubbay. At this time of year the concert promoter is in his element, with 12 top-name concerts at the Barbican in just 7 days. Where else can you see Fiona Fullerton (A View To A Kill, 1985) presenting Bond themes, and the acclaimed Royal Philharmonic Orchestra?


And that's only one venue ... at the Royal Albert Hall you also have Carols by Candlelight five nights a week plus Aled Jones, The Nutcracker, Jingle Bell Christmas, Kings' College Choir...

These may be the concert-going equivalent of 1980s Hooked On Classics cassettes (also starring the RPO) but by heck are they popular!
