The #RWCMD #TECHOPS team have escaped Wales and are off to the big smoke for the #PLASA show. Always good to catch up with the people and tech behind our industry.

The 5+ hours in the car ... Not so much ...

Yesterday was silly hat day at work - more commonly known as graduation!

Being #rwcmd we do graduation & last day of the academic year & the summer ball all on the same day!

It's always a special but bittersweet day of celebration & goodbyes.

But also being "tech" we are one of the few staff working all day - rather than celebrating. Slightly easier this year as we pushed the ball over to our friends at Production78 so we were just "cover".

But yep still bittersweet.

Back at the #RWCMD for 7 Steps: The Music of Miles Davies.

Sat on the balcony at #RWCMD enjoying the sun, breeze in the trees and the random sounds of multiple practice rooms : https://recorder.google.com/share/7b2afe04-5f2b-4d11-91f2-5270ae69ffcd

Working in a city centre is ROUGH ...

So tonight in work it was time for our weekly JazzTime - but it was definitely not Jazz - I'm putting a word in for #FunkyFridays to be a "thing" here at #RWCMD

From a tech point of view I still really enjoy seeing all the kit we put in during covid getting used like this - its even better when I know its students running it - as it was tonight for the video side of things.

Well that was excellent!

Lots of Thelonius Monk stuff.

The lady in the photo is Petra, she dances tap and then some! In fact she was an integral part of the band providing a huge part of the percussion section. She blew us all away, especially when we found out it was the first time she'd ever danced with the quartet.

Such talent on one stage.

Back to the RWCMD for a musical evening.

 Kayhan Kalhor is regarded as the world’s greatest master of the #kamancheh (Persian violin).

Tonight he duo's with the renowned #baglama (Turkish lute) player Erdal Erzincan.

1/ Added disks to two ASM disk groups, the 2nd rebalance waited and then disappeared. I was worried that it had failed, but Oracle automatically ran it on another instance

2/ Lovely gamelan and piano lessons this week.

3/ #KayhanKalhor and #ErdalErzincan playing the #RWCMD in January. I know nothing about Persian classical music, but went to see Majid Derakhshani on the off chance on the evening of the last election and it was stunning
