To celebrate the Queen's 80th birthday there was an outstanding event in London yesterday as part of the BBC Proms series. The details are at
http://www.bbc.co.uk/proms/whatson/week1.shtml
Julian Bliss played the Mozart Concerto with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and delivered a superb performance in front of a packed Royal Albert Hall.
I'm no royalist, but it was quite an event - anyone else catch it?

I saw the last 5 mins of the concerto :-( JB sounded great!
Does anyone know if this prom concert will be repeated on BBC again?

A fantastic performance from Julian. Does anyone know the make of Basset Clarinet that he was playing?

"But the Queen did hear one top-class performance: Mozart's clarinet
concerto, played on the authentic basset clarinet (with its vital extra bass
notes) by the 17-year-old Julian Bliss. Sinuous, immaculate and unfussy, he
reserved his subtlest powers for the end of the sublime adagio, delivered so quietly that 6,000 people held their breath.
A moment of magic in a celebratory night that otherwise didn't quite take off."
- Richard Morrison, The Times

Perhaps a knighthood would be bestowed.
"Sir" Julian?
It would balance out Mick and Ringo.
