Listen and watch

The Young Musician of the Year finals were on the telly last night, but I could only listen on the radio as over here in Paris I can't get BBC TV. My manager kept me updated by text on the contestant's outfits, which was important. Interesting though, how differently you judge things when you can only hear, and are not disturbed by the visual aspect of a performance.

Anyway, I want to clarify that when I said on my Twitter page that I agreed with Sam Wallaston from the Guardian on his appraisal of the string finals which I was on the jury for, I meant the part about how we were all much too sweet and friendly, and only ever said sugary things, which perhaps was less interesting than Simon Cowell tearing young people's hearts out.
This led to several people thinking I was against the result- which I wasn't!
Just so we're all clear...
