Amarok - definitely not (though it would have been a chance..) more serious: - Cook's Tune - with real orchestra! (maybe even Cook's Christmas version?), in Dulci Jubilo as alternative, considering it'll be Christmas time - First Steps, Sunset or Ringscape from Light and Shade - having a real orchestra, why not 'Mont St.Michel'? - some of Moonlight Shadow, To France and Shadow on the Wall seem hard to avoid, being announced already on the website of NOTP Also participating is Chico and the Gipsies (former Gipsy Kings), who might welcome another Spanish guitar, and OMD - I would love to hear Mike's guitar in 'Joan of Arc'. ...and , since it's called 'Night of the Proms', they may already have Wood's 'Fantasia On British Sea Songs' on the classic setlist - guess Mike should have (and maybe practise a little before..) his mandolin with him Back to top

It's one of his best piece to be performed on a night like that. made for it Would sound 10 times better than orchestrated Shadow on the Wall (though I'd even go on my Bicycle to germany, even to see that)   -------------- "And now we're going to play Platinum!"

It's one of his best piece to be performed on a night like that. made for it I agree PiltdownboyMont St Michel is made for  orchestration,as is Hergest Ridge. As the concerts are in December I think In Dulci Jubilo, Cook's Tune or Portsmouth would add tothe Yuletide mood.

Given that the town of Portsmouth has been linked with the Royal Navy for many years Portsmouth would be a great one toplay as would be the Sailors Hornpipe . I'm sitting here trying to imagine how an orchestrated Ommadawn Part 1 might sound. Of course I don'tthinkany prom would be complete without Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance No 1in D, a.k.a "Land of Hope and Glory   . -------------- I'm going slightly mad, It finally happened, I'm slightly mad , just very slightly mad If you feel a little glum to Hergest Ridge you should come.
