Today in Cardiff...

[Enid Luff]

As the Editor of an on-line music Newsletter, I am trying to compose a "Letter from the Editor". Believe me, there is nothing guaranteed to empty your mind of any cogent thought like writing a Letter from the editor. Everything worth saying has gone to fill the threatening void on the other pages. So, I look around for something to write about. It seems that the centre of Cardiff, where I live, was closed today, shops shut, buses diverted to bus stops half a mile out, the place milling with people. This was because, nestling in the centre between the station, the bus terminus, and the main shopping street, is the Wales Millennium Stadium, and some of what goes on there can literally bring a city to a stop. Today it was a pop concert, and to my shame I don't know who was performing. It worries me that there is such a chasm between my bit of the music profession and what great swathes of the population listen to. What my much loved daughter in law has on her ipod, I wouldn't recognise. Perhaps the world is just too big for one person to know everything?
