Music by candlelight

These candlelight sessions take place at the Trades Hall, Glasgow, and Ivy persuaded me to go to one which featured a Pink Floyd tribute. I was a bit sceptical about it because a) I've never been to a concert because of my (lack of) hearing and b) I suspected the music would be provided by a string quartet.* And how could a string quartet convey the music of Pink Floyd.
   Well, I admit it, I was wrong. We were lucky to have a seat near to the front, where I could hear much better. The whole hall was illuminated by about 500 candles - not real ones, but they looked good. And the music was very, very good.
   The session lasted an hour and they played maybe 8 tunes. I recognised all except one of them... and Ivy recognised most of them too. It was very well done and if anyone gets the chance to see this 'tribute quartet', I urge them to take it.

* I later discovered the quartet comprises 2 violins, a viola and a cello.
