The Monster Forts of Nige Kennedy

[ahinton]

He does seem to be making the most of this moment in the sun of media attention while he's at the Proms - conductors are useless, electoral fraud (alleged), political pronouncements.

Indeed; what some people will do to maintain any kind of profile seems to have no obvious limits.

How about giving Jennifer Pike a go at the Last Night? - I understand she will be available ...

Much would presumably depend on what you mean by "a go" - but, just out of curiosity, why her in particular?

I think she's the only soloist violinist playing on the day at Proms in the Park (Glasgow); ergo is presumably available. By a 'go', I merely meant a 'turn': no implication that it should be some sort of 'try-out'.

Well, the last of those comes as something of a relief to read!

If Nige gets fired - how about getting this now 65 year old violinist in to play her old party piece . She seems not to have lost her touch !!!
