The steps to the Mid-Somerset platform are a well trodden path to success as the Festival never fails to notice and encourage excellence in music. This is evidenced by how many young award winners go on to enjoy impressive long term careers. If you’re wondering how former Bath Young Musician winners are faring today, Mid-Somerset
No reflection at all on DJ, though I've always thought it more necessary for presenters to have a wide knowledge of the repertoire rather than being a performer: the two don't always go together. RW liked the idea of having performers as presenters 'like sport has former players' but the analogy doesn't work very well: Sue Barker talked knowledgeably about tennis, Gary Lineker about football (and golf, though to some disapproval from golf enthusiasts).
But DJ copes well with the Shipping Forecast.It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

The more verbiage that is required the more it becomes necessary to possess a level of knowledge, if only to avoid basic mistakes. Being a specialist (performer or otherwise) doesn't automatically confer the ability to avoid clangers, nor to be a good presenter.
