Keyboard wizard Rick Wakeman is coming to Sheffield City Hall to perform live his landmark concept album, Journey To The Centre Of The Earth - and you could meet him, writes Graham Walker.
Meet Rick Wakeman at Sheffield City Hall on May 8, 2014.It celebrates the album’s 40th anniversary, and the 150th anniversary of Jules Verne’s classic book, on which it was based. The tour arrives at the City Hall on Thursday, May 8, at 8pm. To celebrate we are giving one lucky fan the chance to win a pair of tickets and meet Rick backstage.

We also have a pair of runner-up tickets.
In the first half Rick will tell the story behind the album, which sold 15 million copies.
Then he will be joined by The New World Symphony Orchestra, English Chamber Choir and English Rock Ensemble, for a state-of-the-art dramatic, live presentation of his classical-rock crossover work. Tickets are £45 and £40, subject to booking fees. Buy in person, call 0114 278 9789 or book online at www.sheffieldcityhall.co.uk.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
