It is indeed. One of the very few benefits of being in the industry is the tickets tbh! I know Guy who is playing bass with him very well fortunately or I'd never be able to afford it!

And what a great benefit that is! Hope you have a great time. I'm guessing it will be along the lines of 'remember that night' where he did solo and Pink Floyd stuff.
 
They must be so shocked....they were not hurt, but the thought that you were helpless and could have been must be truly terrifying. I know someone who wasn't even in the house when they were burgled, but they still had to sell up as the woman couldn't stay there anymore. Destroys your natural feeling of invincibility. My heart goes out to them.

Sometimes I just hate what some people feel they can do. Anyone wanting to throw a 'desperation' humanity angle at me, don't bother.

My house was burgled 5 years or so ago and although the burglar didn't make a mess of the house we still felt completely violated for ages afterwards. This is the worst aspect of theft, people have a right to feel safe in their own home.

We later learnt that the burglar, when caught, told a tale that he had been made redundant from his job and didn't want his wife to know. He asked for 91 similar offences to be taken into consideration! I can't bring myself to feel any pity for him at all, the vast majority of people who lose their jobs don't turn to crime.

Mainstream doesn't necessarily mean successful though Pomps - it's more a sound. I'd say that choral interpretations of songs like those above is pretty mainstream...but evidently you enjoy that type of sound and production. That's cool.

To be fair, Seashell is an original song and they're not all about covers, they sing their own original material too.

And what about Blackmore's Night? I don't think their sound is particularly mainstream:

Well you're right in one sense, there are plenty of adjectives I'd use before 'mainstream' for that.

Would you be offended if I said that made me feel physically sick, it was so sugary and anodyne?

I'd strongly suggest not researching further like I just did, and listening to their cover of Moonlight Shadow....

My oh my. Take a soft-rock classic and remove all emotion and substance from it, leaving practically nothing but a bad taste in the mouth. Garbage.
 
That's it, I'm convinced. Pomps is just one massive troll. No way can anyone like Pompey, that music and have that many girl problems.

Or maybe, it all explains the latter quite nicely...

I'm genuinely interested in what makes you feel that it's a good song? Is it the lyrics you like? The medieval sound? The fact it sounds like a rejected Disney song from a cartoon?
