<< O dear,

 the thoughts I made a month ago on this list about Dyke in case of their
 appearance at the nationals show up again. 
 As we all know they are of course still a very good band but indeed, a band
 named Dyke (Capital) has to bear its history and can not afford to play as
the
 current dyke (lowercase) is playing.
 If I hear a former Dyke recording like e.g. King of Brass, Triple champions
 (with Connotations, Vivat Regina,Diadem of gold,...) and some others which
date
 from the early eighties (yes, long ago) it's ten times better than what they
are
 doing now. 

 Is Dyke never looking back and ask themselves what's going wrong?
 Or are they convinced it's not and just different?
 I doubt if Jim Watson is such a BRILLIANT conductor as some people on the
list
 put forward some weeks ago. I'm maybe wrong, but I don't think he really is.
He
 will be good but brilliant, and what about their management?? And I know Jim
had
 quite some victories with Desford, Dyke at several nationals and opens. But
this
 doe not prove everything and by the way, I'd better shut up about the
conditions
 those titles were won. Some players, former to those bands and some still
 playing with them, are still ashamed after all those years. 

 Meanwhile I agree with Matthew, for the moment being I regret not to buy
another
 Dyke recording. If they start to perform better at concerts and recordings I
 will be the first to buy them again.

 Sorry to the Dyke fans out there, I was one too until David KIng left and
the
 music with him.
 Regards,

 Edy Van Asch >>

i suppose we are all entitled to our own opinions, even when they are wrong!
