The music performed came from the pens of composers Damien Lagger, Simon Dobson, Paul Lovatt-Cooper, and world premieres from Malcolm Hannaford-Waddington with 'My Child's Hand' and Hayden Barber with 'Activo'.

There were also standout solos from Jonathan Bates (Foden's) and Jamie Smith (Grimethorpe) and a very special encore of 'Sing, Sing, Sing!'
