Esteemed human music stands

The Brook Street Band can add Sean Rafferty to its list of esteemed human music stands. During a live Radio 3 broadcast for In Tune on 13th December, Nicki's music decided to part company with its music stand. Luckily she was singing from memory anyway. Sean rushed over (silently on air!) and sorted out the music, whilst Nicki carried on, a true pro. This reminded us of a similar event when we performed for Julie and Stanley Sadie in Cossington a few years back. The performance was outside and a summer breeze started up. Stanley leapt to the rescue, holding Carolyn's keyboard music in place for the best part of a concert!
