Praise from Peasholm!
“Dear Richard,
Just got to say how much I enjoyed the performances this Sunday and last Sunday. Your contribution to both concerts was of the highest quality. Listening to comments made by audience members around me it was clear your playing was highly appreciated.
High spots this week were the David Bowie & Beatles selections. I was sat beside a couple, he was 86 years old, and he was actually singing along to these pieces.
I can still hardly believe a cornet and piccolo trumpet could be played so quickly and accurately. Which reminds me, your rendition of Grandfather’s Clock was absolutely spellbinding. Did you notice how long and loud the applause you got after that one?”
