F**k that accordion. Too damn heavy. God gave us guitars and organs and good looking boys on bass and drums to play with. A band that arrives on its own two feet.

'Days in Europa' 45th Anniversary TourTHE SKIDS + SPEAR OF DESTINY

Life, liberty and big melodies. Dvořák was bowled over by the USA, and his New World Symphony is a truly epic song of nostalgia for the old world and hope for the new (and that’s before we even mention the Hovis® ad). Samuel Barber’s Violin Concerto really sings too – especially when played by RSNO Artist in Residence Randall Goosby. Plus, if you’ve never heard Duke Ellington’s jazz version of The Nutcracker, you’re in for a treat!
