 I graduated in the University of Wales when the Royal College of Music in London and came up against the best in the world, which is wonderful. And really by horizons at the time, we'll do that and go back to Wales. But then a whole new world was opened for me in London and that's where it all began. Standing outside the festival hall, I'd gone to watch Carrion do a rehearsal and I stood there looking down at the Thames and I said I'm going to come here and conduct one day in this hall and I did. When I first started at the prom, the idea was to make a card at the centre and then go and visit different places during the day, come to concerts that night and that's what has happened, they're coming from London, from abroad even. I am fiercely passionate about Welsh composers because many have written some wonderful music and it's our job for people to get to hear them to see what this music is like and that has been a big feature of the Welsh proms. We have got so much to offer in Wales in musical terms.
