Fergus, I think it will be some time before my next St Michael's recital, but there may be a Monkstown gig in the early summer. Sweelinck probably won't feature, though, as the organ there isn't really suitable.

I popped into TK Maxx (sorry, I don't know whether you have these great shops in Dublin; they are clearance houses for designer label merchandise. Although they do lts of clothes, I tend to use them for kitchen and houseware) for a small flask to fit a rucksack pocket, when my eye happened to chance upon this rather remarkable book:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Classique-Cover ... 306&sr=1-2
It is beautifully presented and quite fascinating... covering (admittedly mainly European) the history and development of LP cover artwork from the mid '50's to the 1980's. I think all of you would find this a fascinating read (or look!) but I have Fergus in particular mind for this purchase... he'll be glued to it for hours.

Re: Recent Purchases
^^ been having a good look at the book over the past hour, and I can only say it's a superb purchase. the artwork is laid out mostly chronologically, but also within themes... there are 777 carefully selected covers, which gives you a broad sweep of changing styles over time prior to an age, as we have often mentioned before, of the rise of the cult of personality...
