Attention, newcomers: you're all invited to join Jon Jacob in a Proms Meetup

[Colonel Danby]

Well I'm something of a old retainer with regard to the Proms, as this will be my 20th Last Night if I make it to the end this year, but it will good to make new friends and renew old acquaintances on the south steps.

Havergal Brian rules! OK?

I always fear that things like 'live blogs' are primarily gimmicks but I have been following Mr Jon Jacob's 'First Night Live Blog', complete with behind-the-scenes video and audio clips, and it's really rather good: http://www.thoroughlygood.me/

I am actually quite excited by the First Night, particularly the Glagolitic Mass. So, shall we look out for the for3 MB afficiandos wearing their badges, or even their academic gowns or signature cushions? Well, at least give us a wave!
