And did those feet in ancient time

Walk upon England's mountains green

And was the holy lamb of God

On England's pleasant pastures seen


And did the countenance divine

Shine forth upon our clouded hills

And was Jerusalem builded here

Among those dark Satanic mills


Bring me my bow of burning gold

Bring me my arrows of desire

Bring me my spears o'clouds unfold

Bring me my chariot of fire


I will not cease from mental fight

Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand

'Til we have built Jerusalem

In England's green and pleasant land

'Til we have built Jerusalem

In England's green and pleasant land!!


Gotta love it.

I never watch the Proms but watched it tonight, the BBC 4 version as it was from my mum's home town of Lisburn. I really enjoyed it esp James Galwey.


Good to see it was not raining in Northern Ireland, thats quite rare this year from what I hear.

Great stuff! The 'Proms Inspire Young Composers' fanfare had me in stitches. Did someone actually write that down, or did they just sneeze on the score? Well done BBC.


Jerusalem's a wicked tune but Land of Hope and Glory is strictly for the retarded.

the girl who played the trumpet during the gershwin song was just fantastic!! what a hotty too, I suspect people of her talent and demeanor can only increase the popularity of the proms, I would love to goto the albert Hall for it, we went to the hyde park a couple of years ago and it was a bit rubbish as some Romanian pop singer came on looking like Borat and sang terribly, but apart from that we loved it, the funniest thing was that they had chas and dave in the park. Now THEY are a south london institution!!

One thought:

When the people in the standing area - all decked-out in their union jack waiscoats - all start bobbing up and down with their hands behind their backs in time with the music, would it be possible to install a giant machine in the Albert Hall which could simultaneously kick them all up the arse as hard as possible?


I think it coulod really add something to the occasion.

yeah but tribute bands ?? Sorry to say I feel robbed by that, we have so much real talent in this country that could be given the platform but tribute bands are a cheap pandering to populist tastes,Queen and Rolling Stones were good bands in there time but tributes at the proms is just too wrong for words, I think its taking the piss out of the license payer to be fed such pap!!

bring on the real talent!!

But I am glad you enjoyed it!!

    • With slightly less respect  I have  watched the 1 hour video - he said what he said and he did what he did. And his faux-wink wink “no violence people” fools no one but fools. Are you a fool?    the bbc told the truth - and it’s a straight up lie to say otherwise. Did they edit and cut to the chase to make a point? Absolutely  and correctly  he was not edited to say things he didn’t say  I cannot believe you watched the entire video and are trying to say the bbc edit somehow misrepresented what he said and Back in the real world - did the nutters who showed up at the white house materialise because of a bbc edit ffs - have some self respect and recognise what’s going on 
    • Friends and family in the 'States always say how wonderful it is to be in Britain and see our news coverage.  It's all partisan out there. The BBC manages to simultaneously p off the left and the right so must be doing something right.
    • From the BBC: "The conclusion of that deliberation is that we accept that the way the speech was edited did give the impression of a direct call for violent action. The BBC would like to apologise for that error of judgement." What is wrong is editing someone to make him say something they didn't.  With respect Sephiroth, this is something I know a bit about and I have encountered, over the last decade, people in programming editing contributors to make them say things they didn't, the end point being to hang them out to dry. It's happening more and more and it's my job to make sure that people on TV are not mis-represented, but shown in their true light so that viewers can make up their own minds. You have no idea what goes on behind the scenes and how hard some us fight to keep things impartial.  It's also worth mentioning that I have personally lost work because of Trump suing US networks, and that's one of the lesser reasons why I'd like to see him gone.  But broadcasters have a moral obligation to tell the truth and that's the hill that most decent professionals in the industry are willing to die on. Otherwise, how can the viewing public trust anything that's beamed into their living rooms? 
    • Amazing work from Leon, doing out electrical survey and replacing our consumer board. Great communications, tidy work, reliable friendly and reasonably priced. A pleasure to have around and highly recommended.
