Awesome concert at Belfast Waterfront Hall last night. So pleased I got front row seats thanks to the advance purchase, never ever ever managed to get front row for anything. Took the kids and managed to scar them for life when I got up and gave Bill a Toblerone! The orchestra sounded amazing such talent! Great night and so glad it was moved from the Odyssey even if I was in a tizzy incase my front row tickets didn’t get transferred across. Great night thanks Bill

Great concert in Birmingham on Sunday night. The CBSO are brilliant musicians. We took our 2 children (12 and 13) but there weren’t that many young people in the audience – maybe because it was a Sunday night and it didn’t finish till 10:30. A pity, because all youngsters should go to a concert like this. My son was ultra, ultra grumpy the following morning but it was worth it – especially as we were in the second row and could almost touch the messiah’s feet!

Saw the concert in Cardiff last night. It was absolutely fantastic. Best night out I’ve had for a while. Saw the Remarkable guide to the orchestra on TV but to see it live was brilliant. What more can I say? If anyone is unsure whether or not to buy a ticket, DO. It was worth every penny. And I got a nice surprise when I discovered I was in the front row. Alpine bells were brilliant and very funny. J
Just remember, Bill, step 1, plug it in!!

Yeah, me too. So happy you’re coming to Belfast Bill. But not so happy you’re playing The Odyssey. Why oh why? It’s a horrendous place to go see a performance. Probably fine for a big music gig. (It is an ice rink after-all) The tickets are so expensive and then you’ll be like a matchstick man far far away… The acoustics aren’t that great either. Want to go see you but just don’t know if I’ll enjoy the show. I feel that going to see anything in The Odyssey is a waste of money And if they put up big screens… well what is the point, I’d rather watch your dvd than that. The Waterfront (where I saw you before) would be a much much nicer venue and I’m sure they could have handled an orchestra. A much more civilised place the Waterfront is.

*pondering whether to buy tickets*

Just booked my tickets to Bill’s Remarkable Guide to the Orchestra! Thanks for the heads up on the tickets, that has just made my day! So we’ll be in the front row at the O2 in Dublin in November. Can’t wait!

Hi,
Has the South Coast done something to offend you? We would welcome a visit from Bill anytime. However we get nothing. Zilch. Nada. Bugger all. If you live in the North or in the Principality all is fine and dandy.

Please bring your guide to the Orchestra daaan saarf. Pref Portsmouth or Southampton.

Go on, you know you want to.
