Behind the scenes in a West-End show: Part II

Behind the scenes in a West-End show: Part II

In part one, we covered my standard day almost up until the start of the show. I’ve made sure the now infamous ‘click’ is working, and now after all my preflight checks, my podium phone rings. Read on to find out who is on the other end of the line…

This high-energy drink not only helps sports professionals with that little boost when they need it, but conducting a concert for three hours, or playing a 42 page piano concerto also puts pressure on the physical body. I've used Red Bull for years to keep my energy and concentration high - and whether you're studying for a degree or just simply going for a long walk, this wonder drink really does give you a little 'cheer me up' when needed. And with 7.5 billion cans sold in a year, it's certainly the most popular energy drink in the world!

Behind the scenes in a West-End show: Part I

Working in a Gordon Ramsay restaurant is the culinary equivalent to a jukebox musical. When you are eating your white truffle and gold pizza, you know full well that the King of TV bleeps didn't actually cook it; but it's his name above the door, and that's probably the reason you chose that establishment over the independent restaurant next door. So when you go to see Bat out of Hell, you shouldn't expect Meatloaf to be acting, singing and dancing, nor it's creator Jim Steinman conducting the band. No. That bit is my job.

Today is a rather historic day in the life of RDCE, as today is the release of the first album I’ve ever done with a certain Mr Russell Watson...

St. Pancras Opening and Christmas Single

St. Pancras Opening and Christmas Single

Well have just finished working on the opening of St Pancras International Terminal. I have to say, although I did very little at the event, it was truly an occasion I am proud to be part of.  To be conducting a choir in front of the Queen was certainly something to remember for a long time...
