      I must confess an interest, here. Kit attended my Physics lessons, when he was at Norwich School; his interest and facility in the subject (I am sure he will not mind my saying) was non-existent. However, it was clear even then that Kit was a musician of world class potential. The Album is an outstanding piece of work and deserves the highest accolade but you should really hear him live! He won't get anywhere in the Mercury but that doesn't matter; he will continue to delight.
