I went to the rehearsal night before the contest snd was sat next to H.Mortimer who had a tear down his cheek when Mr. Wycherley turned on the magic

Wonderful performance by Faireys , we drew 13th and followed them on . 13 proved to be unlucky but nobody could follow that ! 😊

I remember this performance! I was playing with Fodens at the time and we were there for the gala concert and hadn’t qualified ! What a performance!!

[@stephenroughley717]

Did you cross paths with Bob Dean at Fodens?

An old piece of contest music that will be this years regional qualifier.The principal players will have to be on their metal opportunities here for split notes and mistakes may be crucial.Nice testing piece may the best bands win.

Alan Wycherley is sensational

I remember the gasp from the audience when he played the obligato in the 2nd movement.

[@StephenBailey]

That's an amusing last note! 😀
