Don’t practice to feel tired……great advice. Most look at practice as a chore…..the way you put it….it’s a joy! Thank you!! Love it! Anita Royal

I’m not sure what was worse, the singing or the bloke’s bollocks flapping about. Even magic mushrooms would never have created that image in my mind. Poor Bizet.

I remember Jim coming and playing for us at Newbiggin Secondary Modern School around 1970 , what an honour .He also taught my friend Barbara to play cornet. She was a member of the Ashington Colliery band and with her late father they were part of the line up which recorded that well known piece from the New World Symphony for the Hovis advert .Happy days.

Spot on Brendan, I also noticed a large number of new faces. They are noticeable by their lack of knowledge of the layout of the hall! Re the plaque in the foyer I emailed ‘In Tune’ about it and it was read out on air.
