Hear an orchestra playing video game music

I got an e-mail from my friend Stuart yesterday asking me to go to a concert with him in Glasgow in June. Unfortunately, it’s the same night as another friend’s farewell party as she heads off to London, but Stuart’s e-mail was incredibly tempting: he asked me to go to Video Games Live.

Video Games Live is a concert of music from, you guessed it, video games. From Pong to the Halo series, and all played by a proper, full on orchestra. Accompanying the music is a stage show, featuring people acting out scenes from some of the games, a multimedia presentation, and laser show. I don’t think it could get any geekier, or more tempting!

The UK tour date this year is, as I said, in Glasgow on 26th June. Head down there and leave a comment about it. Go on, make me jealous!
