Suggestions for new boards

Now is that 'live' as WE know it, or as the BBC have re-defined it - 'as live'?

Because in terms of current BBC output and if the original defn of 'live' is kept to, any forum that comments on 'live concerts' will be pretty thin!

A Proms forum would certainly be a good idea.

A Proms forum would certainly be a good idea.

I agree, but I wonder whether it is such a good idea to have it open throughou the year. Might it not be better to have it open for comments, say from April until October?

Oh, yes, quite, EA. I was just endorsing the principle rather than arguing for an all-year round fixture.

One board that is missing that was on the BBC is 'arts & ideas', where Radio3's non-music programmes were discussed (plus other relevant issues). They could go on the Platform 3 board, but having a seperate forum would leave Platform 3 for the wimsical/trivial/fun/political/ranting threads. At the moment it's a bit tame, but I guess that's because certain BBC messageboard inhabitants haven't migrated here (perhaps they've moved to the Daily Mail site, or their opposition to immigration has inhibited them from moving to somewhere new). I'll do my best to liven it up

Flosshilde,

Perhaps I've got hold of the wrong end of the stick but .... <cough> .... have you scrolled down to the bottom of the "Forum" view?

I assumed that it was concerts members had attended that was meant. Although that is likely to be rather London-centric, & therefore rather a limited discussion. At least the Proms can be heard through-out the UK.

Oh yes :doh:

My only excuse is that when I saw the 'Jazz' & 'World music' headings I decided the rest of it wasn't going to be of any interest to me & didn't look any further.

The BBC were honest enough to tell us that yesterday's Opera on 3 was intended to be a live relay, but was in fact a recording of Tuesday,s performance as one of the singers was unwell and not confident of giving his best for the transmission.

I would certainly welcome a separate Proms Forum from say April to end of September. I do hope those posters who suddenly came alive during the Proms season manage to find their way here.
