He's a very talented young man who cleverly inspires people to sing their hearts out. Yes I saw him sort out those macho lads in the all boys school, and formed a school choir, AND did very well in a national school choir contest ! :)

Yeah, I think that was the first of his Choir Making series. I remember the scene of him standing on the stage in front of them all at assembly, playing the recorder. The kids were just looking at each other, thinking, "WTF...?" He was then getting nowhere trying to recruit kids to join up - until he crowbarred in the PE Teacher, who was the Alpha Male in the school.

He has done wonders for our choir, though, as he's brought it to the public's attention that Community Choirs aren't necessarily all about Religion.
