It's a little bit funny....this feeling inside

I'll make this brief.

I got a place at the Royal Academy of Music. 3000 applied. 30 places. 15 for girls. 15 for boys. 2200 girls applied. I got a place.

The itinerary arrived on Tuesday. "On September 1st you will begin rehearsing for a special concert ["ooo! How wonderful!", I thought] on September 22nd ["eeee, so soon, brilliant!", I thought] at the Royal Albert Hall ["fucking hell, wow, what an experience that will be!", I thought] with Sir Elton John ["huh?"], compered by Stephen Fry ["what in the what now?"]".

Yes, that's right, on September 22nd I will be part of a 30-strong choir accompanying Sir Elton John at the Royal Albert Hall in a one-off concert compered by Stephen Fry. The only way it could get any more momentous is if Freddie Mercury rose from the dead and Queen reformed to close the show. Unbelievable. Stephen Fry is one of the biggest comedy legends in the country. Elton John is surely one of the biggest comedy legends in the world, ever. If I never work again following this concert then at least I got to share the stage with two living legends.

Now....let's all hope and cross our fingers I don't fuck it all up by singing Elton my racist version of 'Daniel'*.








*I don't have a racist version of 'Daniel'.
