Congratulations, William!!!!
It was an incredible String Final 2014. The first three violins who played blew me away with their incredible talent and brilliant personalities. Then the harpist played extremely well displaying a rare musical gift, already making it impossible to decide a winner. At the time I didn't think it would be possible for someone else to come out on stage and rise above the rest, such was the high standard. But William Dutton did it by playing exceptionally well and, whilst I would have been more than happy for any of the other finalists to have been chosen to go forward, I strongly agree with the judges final result. William Dutton is an outstanding violin player who already has my full respect. Good luck to him in the main final.
Woah! Enjoyed this very much Will. Well Done! Love to all, Mum & Dad. (Robert D)
Initially, their comments about him were more critical than others. So, I was surprised he won through.
