Might have to break out the Niacin to fight the x-factor virus like I did last year.

So the BBC has a page where you can scroll around a super high-definition image of the crowd at the Royal Wedding.
I had a quick look and just stumbled upon this frame - it looks like the ITV booth or something - isn’t that Philip Schofield on the left - and perhaps Caroline Quentin?
But the really good part is the guy with the iPad.

As I tweeted sometime towards the end of last year (September or thereabouts), I joined up to Magnatune with a lifetime membership.
I’m slowly working my way through the various artists and albums available to download.
One of my recent favorite artists is classical guitarist Daniel Estrem. As a wannabe guitarist myself, I am often drawn to guitar music. However, I’ve never been much of a classical music fan. Daniel Estrem’s playing might change that :-) Enjoy!

The Cheltenham Folk festival is coming up soon (Feb. 11-13). I’ve put together a Spotify playlist (sorry people who can’t access Spotify) featuring some of the artists who will be playing this year. This is something I did so I can decide which artists I want to try and see this year - I have no affiliation with the festival or any of the artists, this is just something I did on my own…
Unfortunately, not all of the artists who are going to perform at the festival have material on Spotify, so it isn’t at all complete. But if you like folk music I think you’ll find quite a lot to like. Enjoy.
Cheltenham Folk Festival - My Sampler Playlist
The Askew Sisters – The Blue Eyed Stranger / Goddesses / Mrs Casey
Maggie Boyle – Bird Song
Gordon Tyrrall – Verses (Tho Winter Comes Dreary)
Gavin Davenport – A Snow White Bird
Jo Freya – Female Smuggler
Jackie Oates – Locks And Bolts
Decameron – Rock and Roll Away
Jon Boden – The Trees They Do Grow High
Kathryn Roberts & Sean Lakeman – The Red Barn
Lúnasa – Harp and Shamrock
Nancy Kerr – The Outside Track
The Yetties – Cigarettes And Whiskey And Wild, Wild Women (Live)
Various Artists – Sam Sallon - One For The Road

Just bartered with my teenage son - he gets a WoW faction change and I get some additional chores / work done in return. Nevertheless I think I’m getting the short end of the deal.
Apparently it can take from 1 hour to 3 days. If I can get him to work full time for 3 days I win!
