Exciting news!


I have blogged before about a young harmonica playing friend Philip Achile. He is another pupil of Chris's harmonica teacher Jim Hughes.

He is only 19, and not only was he a soloist at the proms last year, but he played at the Royal Variety performance, and on various film sound tracks including the new Mr Bean film.

Well he has done it again!!. It has been announced today on the "European Young Musician" website today that he is one of the seven finalists to be playing a concerto with the Vienna Philharmonic. Its all happening this week, and we are proud to have Philip representing England on the HARMONICA!!.

Not sure when it will be televised, but watch this space .http://www.youngmusicians.tv/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1

What is more exciting, is that Philip will be playing alongside Peter Fisher and a host of other stars(!) at a charity concert we have organised at our church very soon ( I'm going to write more harmonica music!).
