I just watched it and it was incredible indeed! Great playing and sound from Owen Slade on what looked like a Miraphone 1291 (?)

What a fantastic Prom ! And with Seth MacFarlane singing too!

Great brass section of London session players, Mike Lovatt on Trumpet, Mark Nightingale on trombone, and some of the best string playing I've heard in a long time!

Don't know if you can get it over the pond, but well worth a listen/watch.

Was a fabulous prom, I heard a fair wodge on the way back from a gig. Mike Lovatt can currently be heard on lead in Sister Act:The Musical at the Palladium. It is an incredible soundtrack!
