You'll be in for a treat when Brett Polegato steps on stage at the COC Gala. Not only does he have a beautiful voice and enunciation ( he was a soloist when the TSO performed Vaughan Williams's 'Dona nobis pacem' last November ) but ...

If you crane your neck and hang by your heels will you be able to see the top of the Cornwall's heads if they show up?
