Looks like we're emerging from the woods now following the Icelandic Volcanic Ash crisis, although just like aeroplanes, a lot of musicians are all in the wrong places! We've heard some remarkable stories in the past few days of players trapped in Moscow, the Dolomites or even just Amsterdam! But whether it be by train or boat or plane - they are making amazing journeys not to disappoint their audiences! So let's hear it for the power of Classical Music - still inspiring epic journeys :-)
Oh - and this is funny. An Icelandic singer explains how to pronounce the volcano Eyjafjallajokull, using music obviously. Click here.
