A recent discovery, whilst looking for Shakira videos on YouTube,...This is Leopold Stokowski conducting the London Philharmonic Orchestra at the Fairfield Halls...Check out the footage and take a guess at how old it is. Stunning colour, invisible cameras, great sound and filmed in ....September 1969. This means I was seven years old and so was Fairfield. Which, as you've probably worked out, means that I should be far too old to be searching for Shakira videos on YouTube.
Incidentally the Concert Hall looks exactly the same now as it did then, indeed the lady in the green polyester dress is still there...anybody know if her taxi has arrived yet?

Indeed it is Christmas again.
It is the Croydon Festival this weekend and a bumper bag of entertainments is guaranteed for all.
The heavens have just opened and sent a deluge of biblical proportions down upon us.
