AN orchestra which has been revived to support musicians hit by the pandemic, more than 60 years after is was disbanded, can provide a cultural voice for Yorkshire and the north of England , its conductor said. The newly reformed Yorkshire Symphony Orchestra - which was established in Leeds in 1947 and disbanded in 1955 - has been revived under conductor Ben Crick to support northern musicians who have been hit hardest by the lockdowns. Mr Crick said: Despite major cities like Leeds, York and Sheffield, Yorkshire has lacked its own county symphony orchestra for decades. It s really strange considering our size and strength, so I think the Yorkshire Symphony Orchestra is potentially one of the most exciting things that lockdown has brought us.

Happy Birthday to Pete Townshend, who turns 76 today (May 19th)!!! Townshend, who is the primary creative force behind the Who, wrote nearly all of the band's music and has been responsible for crafting the stories and themes behind such rock classics as Tommy, Who's Next, and Quadrophenia. Recently released is the "Super-Deluxe Edition" of The Who Sell Out in a massive box set, with a total of 112 tracks over five discs. The collection includes never-before-heard outtakes and Townshend demos along with a heaping dose of replica memorabilia from the era.

WHO hit the UK charts at Number Three and still marks the Who's best charting album in the States since 1978's Who Are You which also peaked at Number Two. An updated version of the album is now
