Stephany Padgett and Adele Geritzen,
October 2, 2012, Royal Albert Hall.
Adele Geritzen was in the Royal Albert Hall.
She commented on Facebook about Classic Brits:
The show opened with Andrea Bocelli singing Amazing Grace. Later a sketch from Phantom of the Opera, Nicola Benedetti played Schindler's list, Russel Watson sang the Vangelis Chariots of Fire, a lovely young guitarist called Milos played Tales of the Alhambra & Libertango, London Chamber Orchestra tribute to John Williams and the finale was with Military Wives, Andrew Lloyd Weber & Gary Barlow (Take That ?) on stage. Andre & JSO were first up after the interval.
During the interval they set up the stage for the JSO. the orchestra members quietly took their places. Andre was pacing up and down just off centre stage, to be the opening number of the second half, with Roses from the South.
Pierre was sitting at one of the front tables with the Hopkin's and Andrew Lloyd Webber. Once Andre had finished Roses from the South, he went and joined the table. As Alan Titchmarsch started to announce the ten nominees for the Album of the Year Award, Andre removed his glasses, a fairly sure sign that he was getting ready to go up and receive the award. I don't believed it was 'rigged' as some have suggested on this site, but I do believe he was informed well before the show since the voting was closed a couple of days before.
Steph Padgett was also in the Royal Albert Hall!
