Local trumpeter among musicians at Royal Albert Hall
Two Manx musicians are taking part in one of the most highly regarded music festivals in the world this week, the BBC Proms.
Trumpet players Russell Gilmour and Sam Kinrade will be performing Beethoven's seventh symphony at the Royal Albert Hall tomorrow (10 September).
It's as all members of the Aurora orchestra have to socially distance as they play, and it will be distinctly lacking an audience.
Russell says it'll be an honour to take part in any case, and spoke to Alex Wotton:
