Concert

The concert started at 9.30 with numerous speeches beforehand during and after. The floodlit town walls provided a very dramatic backdrop. The audience was the largest we have had so far - a conservative estimate put the figure at 800 ! They were very appreciative and demanded encore after encore - Lord of the Dance being played twice - the latter of which was, as tradition now demands, without a conductor. The orchestra, fueled by the enthusiastic and supportive crowd played their best yet.

Sky Europe were there too with a couple of camera crews, and a 20 minute programme featuring the performance is due to be broadcast later this year. Listen out for more details !
