In 1999 I submitted an orchestral entry to Newbury Variety 2000 as the overture to their Year 2000 variety show due to be held in July 2000. This was the first time that I had arranged music for a 64 piece orchestra and still is by far my most difficult piece to date. Using all the IT at my disposal to produce the piece I was delighted to hear that it had won! The prize was to be to listen to the piece played by the orchestra, but it never got played because sadly the orchestra was just not up to it!Listen to my orchestral piece to celebrate the coming of the new millenniumQuartz were one of the very lucky bands who were actually working on New Millenniums Eve. It was a show like no other. We took along some TV sets to link up with the 'happenings' at the Dome and used an awesome arsenal of special effects. During our final set in the early hours of Jan 1st 2000 we shocked the crowds and ourselves with some fancy dress costumes onstage. Most pictures are so outrageous that it would not kind to show them here....
