How's This For A Musical Holiday!
Fancy A Weekend Away? How about the Cotswolds? No? How about five days in a legendary recording studio working with bonafide rock stars and accommodation in a swanky West London hotel?
Fancy A Weekend Away? How about the Cotswolds? No? How about five days in a legendary recording studio working with bona fide rock
stars and accommodation in a swanky West London
hotel?
Well you may be in luck; London´s Metropolis studios has announced
that it will be running a new event, catchily-titled the London Legends Rock
Masterclass (LLRM) from 27 April to 2 May.
Those fortunate enough to be able to afford LLRM - it´ll set
you back £7,000 for the full five days - and gain one of the 30 places will get
the chance to write, play, record and just generally hang-out with Glen Matlock
(Sex Pistols), Chris Difford (Squeeze), Ian McLagen (The Faces/Small Faces) and
Mick Avory (The Kinks).
Following the week´s sessions, participants will tie-up
events with the Sunday Blast - a live extravaganza, that will be filmed and
recorded for posterity.
Included in the price are six nights' accommodation at London´s rock pit-stop,
the KWest hotel, all food and drinks (including a meal at Bill Wyman´s Sticky
Fingers restaurant) and the use of all of the instruments and studio facilities
at Metropolis Studios.
TG supposes there are worse
ways to spend your time…
