Royal Albert Hall 2009

When one of your parents is singing in the Royal Albert Hall it truely turns into a family event of proudness and support.
There were over a thousand male and female voices performing alongside the Brighouse and Rastrick band ( they backed Terry Wogan in the floral dance) and the Grimethorpe brass band ( featured in the movie Brassed Off), the accoustics were amazing and i had tears in my eyes on many an occasion. The group photo after the show is really lovely featuring my brother, his wife, my nephew and my mam and dad as well as myself.
