'Tis indeed very good: though he's got about 6 months left to get through in 2 hrs now!

I'm waiting for the backing group to appear: Leicestershire Schools Chamber Orchestra....
OK, I admit - I WAS in it. But it was great fun to work with them all (especially the beatboxers improvising in my ear when we were trying to play...)
Gareth seemed like a bag of nerves when we got to talk to him - although that may have had something to do with it being the day of the concert.

So far, though, I've really enjoyed just watching the development: yes, it is a bit dramatised, but still fun!
