Well there were only two woodwind players picked out so it was either the clarinettist or - and only very briefly, just the once - the flautist. I'm going for the former.
What a brilliant quote. Who was astute enough to say that? And who but me is old enough to remember Watch With Mother? Revive The Wooden Tops! Rehome Rag, Tag, and Bobtail! Bring back Patricia Driscoll! Cut Andy Pandy's strings!
You don't need to be old to be familiar with all these Yorkshire Liz, they're all on You Tube. Muffin the Mule and the Wooden Tops are big favourites of my grandchild.
I am in love with the conductoress. Love the uumph she puts in to the conducting. You surely know what she means by her face and arm ,feet and hands. Wonderful. Beth (Gemma's Person)
That was uplifting. X
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this. What a great way to start a Sunday.
ReplyDeleteSure you are somewhere in that choir, I just haven't spotted you yet...

ReplyDeleteYes, Jane (below) is right. Brief glimpse of bassoonist near start - and he'd be my (choice) pick too.
DeleteBassoon with the beard is my guess
ReplyDeleteI can't identify your beau John but they are such an uplifting orchestra and choir ( could he be wearing round tortoise shell spectacles) x

ReplyDeleteWonerful stuff. Clarinet??
ReplyDeleteSuch joy! Got to be the clarinettist, surely? xx
ReplyDeleteJoyful.
ReplyDeleteClarinet for sure. Gigi
ReplyDeleteThe Oboe guy? You should see the oboe guy with the National Symphony.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised that the youngsters just sat there so serious. It would be hard to sit still with that bouncing music!

Admittedly, my first thought when seeing the thumbnail of the video was what's Rolf Harris doing there? Ew...Uplifting.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, the basoonisht with the beard and glasses. DH played the bassoon for a short while and our dog got in the bathtub and howled when he played!
ReplyDeleteLovely music - ta!
Hugs!
"can anyone spot my favourite woodwind player?"
ReplyDeleteWhat is this - a Blue Peter blog? Watch with Mother?
I think you've been watching too much Cbeebies.
And why not?

DeleteThat rocked! I'll say it was the very first (and very hot) guy to be shown with a horn.
