[smytho15]

spend hours watching him on Sky Arts and he is awesome. How about the big man opens the main stage Sunday morning.

I though sky arts only ever showed that acoustic pixies show and that shitty No Whiley veichle which keeps on changing it's name whilst retaining the same format

I have to admit I love a bit of Andre Rieu every now and again. Its an absolute cheese fest but quite entertaining. He does seem to be on Sky Arts constantly though

If he played at Glasto, I would definitely go and see him.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Surely a case of the festival not being able to afford him...?

[The Nal]

Who is this c**t?

Edit. Ah yes sorry seen him on Sky Arts. Hes on it 24/7. CG is right. Too pricey surely?

Just give the London Symphony Orchestra a bell and get them down to do John Williams music for 90 minutes.

Everyone a winner!

In theory I'd have no issue with starting up the Sunday on the Pyramid with a programme of Strauss and other waltz music - but it might as well be anyone doing it for all the interest I have in Rieu.

[LondonTom]

Can I ask what his done to upset you all?

I'm no follower of classical music, With Rieu only ever seen the huge amount of hours Sky Arts seems to dedicate him instead of showing old IoW footage anymore.

Exactly, it would be a change and something to see - but no need for someone so expensive. A local band or a talent comeptition band could open it up doing that for me.

Playing the Rolf slot?

I'd love to see an orchestra play. Love classical music. Not that Rieu chap though, he's too... orange!!!

I think they've had the Glastonbury Town Band on before.

[CaledonianGonzo]

They've opened the Pyramid a few times.

In 2010 they did an 'English World Cup Tribute' of things like Jerusalem, the Dambusters theme, etc.

I scarpered.
