It's Tuesday. It's Tuesday. It means it's more rosebud. Well, I say it's Tuesday. It's Tuesday when we are recording this. It could be any day of the week when you are listening to it. I say we. It is me and my friend and producer Harriet Jane. We are in our studio at Grovenor House, which is a beautiful

hotel in London's Park Lane. And how are you today, Harriet? Oh, I'm very well, thanks,

Charles. Do you notice the little jumper I'm wearing? The piano jumper, yes. It's got keys. Do you

know why I'm wearing this? No. Because I've just been to the proms. Oh. I imagine you as a girl, because you're into music. Did you go to the promenade concerts? Yes. Yeah, I love the proms. I still go. International listeners, promenade concerts founded by Sir Henry Wood, based at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Royal Albert Hall,

if haven't been to it, is the most amazing building, 1871. It opened later than expected,

ran over budget. There's nothing new in any of that. Anyway, named an honour of Prince Albert.

What's your best experience at the Royal Albert Hall? Well, twice I've seen my own daughter

born there with harringay young musicians.

So that's where we live in North London.

She's in the Symphony Orchestra.

And there are something like

1200 children on stage.

So not only on the stage, a stage is full of the orchestra,

but also in all of the seats near the stage and behind the stage,

there are all these children singing.

And at one point, they're all doing it together,

and I defy you not to, I mean, I'm sobbing the whole way through because just the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.

It's always so moving.

And then they always do something cool at the end, like a big glitter drop.

Oh, wonderful.

And they have a steel band, you know, the steel band.

What's your daughter's instrument?
