Exciting project

4BR recently featured the news of the exciting project and following the premiere, Adam (above) told us: "It went brilliantly and was so well received by the audience, with a lot of people on their feet at the end of it.

I was really impressed with the band. The worked so hard and produced the quality when it was needed, doing themselves and me proud."

Wonderful

He added: "Without the support of my wife and children none of this would have been possible and I am eternally appreciative for their patience, particularly over the past year.

The whole project has been wonderful and I have relished the challenge and am really excited about the future."
