A couple of Sundays ago we went a long to the Arts Centre, Hamer Hall to watch the second of three concerts from the MSO where they performed music from fantastic films such as the Star Wars trilogy, ET, 2001 and Superman.
It was the same crowd that performed the James Bond themes back in April.
Again the concert was great and a real treat being a film nerd. Mainly for the kids I think, but enough to satisfy the older generation like myself being brought up on those films. I will say that there was a bit too much Star Wars music – yes I just did say that. It would have been good to hear other music from films like Aliens or Star Trek (James Horner). Although it was great to hear “The Imperial March” and ‘Yoda’s Theme’, brought back a lot of childhood memories, of sneaking into mum and dad’s bedroom and peeking at my Christmas presents. I will always remember seeing The Empire Strikes Back vinyl soundtrack in a John Menzies bag.
Actually I don’t think I’ve told anyone that … not even m&d.
