The highlight of my career has to be playing at The Last Night of The Proms with The BBC Symphony Orchestra. As a child I grew up watching this on television & it was a big ambition of mine to do it. The atmosphere was unforgettable with thousands of people singing and waving union jacks!

Playing with The London Symphony Orchestra was another highlight. One minute we would be touring the world with conductors such as Andre Previn & soloists such as Rostrapovich. Then a few days later we would be at Abbey Road Studios recording the sound track for Star Wars with John Williams & George Lucas or Harry Potter ( which was closely watched by rather a young and shy Daniel Radcliffe.... Exciting times!
