Aren't You a Little Short for a Storm Trooper?


To The Philharmonic Hall to see a wonderful programme of Music From Outer Space presented by Elizabeth Sladen and her husband Brian Miller - one of the voices of The Daleks from way back. Also many Doctor Who and Star Wars characters as you can see above. Sci-Fi by it's nature is forward looking and a good proportion of the music that accompanies it is optimistic in the extreme. We both left with wide smiles and a happy step but carefully avoided getting too close to the scarecrow in the foyer. Star Wars themes, Thunderbirds marches, Red Dwarf Suites all great stuff - forget the reflective stuff that makes you cool - this is upbeat and just the ticket for a Saturday Evening in Spring. Just watch out for the fan-boys.
