Anyone who had a hobbit

In more music news, sort of, I have found another addition to the canon of every cloud/silver lining episodes that end up on this blog. On this occasion, it is an example of the vice-versa model.

When I returned from holiday to confront the typically mundane contents of my inbox, I was stopped in my tracks by one of the regular emails I am subjected to from various ticket agencies.

Silver lining: Burt bloody Bacharach is playing this year's Electric Proms…

Cloud: …with guest vocalist Jamie Cullum.

Perhaps luckily, this concert has already sold out, saving me from any kind of soul/devil/crossroads dilemma that could be looming. Let's just content ourselves with this instead, shall we?
