Last Night of the Proms - Sat 13 Sept

Yes, sad but true...the event signifying the end of summer (summer such as it was/was not this year) - for me... <sobs> 

Get out your Union Jack and practice up your British patriotic songs & sea shanties... Last Night of the Proms is this Saturday 13 September at 8 pm - to be shown live on BBC2 (Part 1), and BBC1 (Part 2). 

(I'll see if I can get the date changed by a mod in the thread title...thought I'd open up the old one rather than starting a new thread.)

Title fixed!

Title fixed!

Cheers Cait!

Here's a link for this year's Last Night programme...

I might have to shed a little tear this year...    All those British-y songs, now that I'm a bona fide citizen. 

I'll be watching! 

Sadly, my quote from last year is relevant again this year:

Kids back at school and last night of the proms - signalling the end of the summer that never was...

Must learn the words to the songs this year... 

God Save the Queen - I always end up singing My Country Tis of Thee.  And it was bad at my citizenship ceremony back in January, because I had a jumble of both sets of lyrics running through my head as the music played - perhaps that is only fitting? 

Oh Tin - summer is now, officially, OVER! 

Liked the folk song medley, especially that Bryn Terfel singing Loch Lomond, and how about that crazy jacket he wore?!!    Although, ahem, On Ilkla Moor Baht 'at was conspicuously missing from the 'British Isles' folk song medley...    

Not too sure about that Froms commission/arrangement though. 

I missed the sea shanties that they usually play - not the same as the Vaughan Williams Sea Songs - I don't think?

<Sigh> Summer's over. 

Okay, bring on brussel sprouts, Guy Fawkes, and Chrimbo now...  :\\\'(
