Would still love to do it though, get a real buzz from being on stage with a 150-piece orchestra. and a 50-piece choir.

i saw john holt with the reggae philomonic orchestra

sound was incredible
only was the ticket price
i felt if the price was lowered a few quid he would have sold out, but as that it was expensive,wembly arena was only half sold...that must be a big balance also £60 i think was the price
