    Tom Service is a Marmite presenter here in the UK on the classical music station BBC Radio 3 – people either love him or hate him. For the record I love Tom but hate Marmite! He also writes for the Guardian newspaper / website and I thought people might enjoy his latest column about comparisons between classical music and heavy metal. He seems to have forgotten about early excursions such as Deep Purple’s Concerto for Group & Orchestra but it is an amusing read I think. Hope people outside the UK can see this

    From the devil’s violinist to devil’s horns - why classical and heavy metal are a natural pairing

      I’m not really a metal guy — although, I’m very open to anything and there have been a number of metal songs I like, so I’m definitely not a hater and always keep an open mind, and there are elements of metal I enjoy. I think the writer makes some very good points and I’d be intrigued to hear what the orchestra does.

      On a much smaller note — is the sponsor Marmite, as in the spread that I can only compare to what it would taste like if I drank the heavily used motor oil from a truck?
