Proms In The Park
Proms In The Park was on last night, and I was sent to Cawdor Castle in Nairnshire to host the live relay of the main concert in Glasgow Green. We may not have had the biggest crowd of the night, but in the shadow of Scotland鈥檚 most romantic castle, we certainly had the best backdrop.
The entire event was live on 大象传媒 4 and Janice Forsyth expertly anchored the coverage for our listeners on 大象传媒 Radio Scotland. As I watched the events around the country on the big screen I was reminded that it鈥檚 these big public occasions that the 大象传媒 does so well.
What did surprise me was the rousing reception given to Land of Hope And Glory by our audience in Nairn. I am certain the local SNP MSP, Fergus Ewing would have choked on his hot chocolate if he鈥檇 heard the anthem of middle England being belted out enthusiastically in his constituency.
The 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra was magnificent throughout, but cellist Julian Lloyd Webber got the biggest laugh of the night when he quipped that Variations was, 鈥渨ritten by my brother Andrew before he decided to become the next Simon Cowell!鈥
