Hi Cathleen, I went to the same event last year which was the first of its kind. That one was in aid of the "SOS Children of the Tsunami" appeal. The line-up was impressive then, too: Amici Forever, Bond, Celtic Tenors, Duel, G4, Emma Johnson, Aled Jones, Keedie, Julian Lloyd Webber, Opera Babes, and Russell Watson. I wasn't aware until recently that this was to be an annual event. The great thing is that all performers, back stage crew, the entire Albert Hall staff and everyone involved, give their time for nothing. That way, all revenue goes to the charity concerned. For me, the highlight this year will be Becky Taylor who, as I'm sure everyone has noticed(!), has her own sub-board here. From an entertainment point of view, I would say that these concerts are on a par with the Classical Brit Awards (held in May in the same venue). And I'm going to that too!  Roger |
