2013 - R3 themed 'Year of the violin'

[Guest]

Following the overwhelming success of the Schubertathon and the ecstatic reception of the six-week Pianothon, Roger Wright announced today that 2013 will be 'The Year of the Violin'. Speaking on the World at One, he said "Our tweets have shown just how much our two listeners welcome this monotonous approach. We will start 2013, with January being exclusively devoted to the entire works of Fritz Kreisler. Mantovani will also feature strongly throughout the year. It makes programming so much easier for us. "

My money's on 'Year of the Tin Whistle' for 2014.

My first was that the horns have a long time to wait, never mind the tuba. Glad it's just a joke but someone at the BBC may just get ideas from it. Beware who reads this
