And the evening isn’t over yet. Music For Mallet Instruments, Voices and Organ plays the Steve Reich celebrations out. What a beautiful way to end this wonderful event.

What a weekend. Another standing ovation for Colin Currie and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra delivering a series of remarkable performances tonight at the Glasshouse.

Painted in 1887, 'A Flower Meadow at Veierland,' is one of Edvard Munch's final paintings before his style was influenced by Hans Jæger, an anarchist and bohemian in Kristiania who convinced him artists should take a new approach in their work and have relevance in peoples' lives

Hello Ian! Lovely to meet you. I'm back at the Glasshouse to see Steve Reich for the next couple of days. Phew, rock 'n' roll.

Saw Jon Anderson in concert last night. Quite the event, with the *checks notes* 81-year-old singer sounding about as good as when I last saw him perform with Yes in the mid-70s. Not sure how this is possible, but I was convinced by him and the band that Yes music is in very good hands indeed.

I am an enigma, a mystery, much like the Stanley Unwin of prog rock.

I've never read this but always meant to. I saw the film on telly as a young kid and it traumatised me. What were my parents thinking letting me watch the damn thing?

Never mind the robot. What about the 12-year-old in charge of the company with the weird earlobe antenna array? Who's controlling him? I think we should be told!
