Altrincham Concert

2010-06-27T17:19:37Z

Hi Everyone – Just to let you know how the concert in Altrincham went. First of all – and I will apologise for this but I hope you understand. There are no pictures – the concert was very tightly packed and I was sitting to the side of Andrew a few rows back. It would have been inappropriate of me to take pictures. Andrew sang 5 songs – in the first half he sang Caro mio ben (Giordani), O del mio dolce ardour (Gluck) and then Silent Worship (Handel). In the second half he sang Music for a While (Purcell) and Rollicum Rorum (Gerald Finzi) I have to say his Purcell piece was absolutely beautiful and there were a few ‘Bravo’s’ from an appreciative audience. Andrew was accompanied by David Jones (Accompaniment Coordinator at the RNCM and Deputy Director of the Junior RNCM) on piano. I was very proud of him and it was hard to believe that only a year and a half ago his voice had started to change and that the instrument he now has belongs to someone as young as 15 years old. There were 3 other outstanding young musicians:- Grace Yan (10) (piano), Tom Blomfield (14) (Oboe) and Emma Rushworth (violin) – Emma (15) has most recently been leading the Halle Harmony Youth Orchestra: a project set up by The Halle and Diverse TV Productions to be televised on Channel 4 late 2010 or early 2011 entitled ‘The Band’. Also performing was Andrew Wilde an English Classical pianist who has given recitals all over the world – Warsaw, Milan, New York, Berlin etc. There are not enough superlatives to describe how amazing this man was – I was completely blown away. It was a beautiful sunny evening – we had strawberries and cream and wine on the lawn and then went inside to listen to these talented young musicians. The evening was finished off with Andrew Wilde playing Polonaise in A flat, Op 53 Maestoso (Chopin). The money raised for the concert was going to The Children’s Society. I will say that Andrew was slightly taller than the other young musicians - in fact probably twice their height - in fact he was probably taller than anyone there, including the other adults

Hello everyone, Im back.

2010-07-02T14:22:50Z

Im back im back , 4 weeks ago i decided to give up the dreaded cigarettes, soooooo i removed myself from all places, food, drinks and areas that i used to associate with smoking

Computer being a BIG one, i would puff like a steam engine when i was on my laptop.

Good news is IT worked and i have not had a cigarette, and do not want to do so again.

Oh and Donnajo, amongs other things inspired me to give up, as she herself has done this year.

Thats all i wanna say bout that.

You have been warned im back hahhahah
