1. Buoyed no doubt by the success of this year's Glastonbury event (see pic right from drownedinsound.com) a PRS spokesman has come out and confirmed that:
"Live music is more popular than ever" and admitted that although consumers are spending less disposable income on recorded music, the share going on live music is rising.

If you're a more mature player here's one especially for you:
3. Taking up a hobby like as guitar playing has been identified by researchers at Warwick University as a "pre-emptive strike" against a mid-life crisis.
