[edit] Hecklers?

Some mention is needed here of Stocken's anti-modernist activities, including organising a group called The Hecklers to boo Birtwistle's Gawain and writing an article for the New Statesman likening Boulez to Marx (or, I suppose, Lenin -- the whole thing seems ot be a complete nonsense to me, but there it is).

[edit] Vanity Page?

Is this a vanity page? I think it should be marked for deletion. The only notable thing this person has done is to boo an established and well respected composer.

This page has existed for about two years and now someone decides that it should be deleted. Regardless of whether you agree with Stocken's anti modernist stance, the assertion that is done nothing else of note is absurd and patently untrue
