...I've just seen Jonathan Hoffman's blog at<br />www.thejc.com/blogs/jonathan-hoffman/psc-turns-proms-audience-pro-israel<br /><br />He says (inter alia - read it all):<br /><br />"The PSC morons tried to stop me doing an interview with the BBC outside the Hall after the concert, by yelling and screaming. If you can't win an argument try censorship - that's the way these Stalinists operate.<br /><br />The applause at the end of the Bruch Violin Concerto - before the interval - was tumultuous and soloist Gil Shaham even played an encore. I was told that the applause at the end of the concert was every bit as enthusiastic."Daphne Ansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12297188759548931101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-40573334768619299962011-09-02T17:33:33.433+10:002011-09-02T17:33:33.433+10:00I stand, or rather sit, corrected Ian!
