My wonderful singing pupil received incredible reviews for his role in Yeoman of the Guard at The Grange Festival. One review in particular jumped out at me: “His voice was striking, very much an extension to his speech (which is a bonus in the more patter moments), yet possessed of a depth and character that meant that he certainly did not disappear in the ensembles, which can be a problem when mixing operatic and non-operatic voices. There was no amplification, X simply used the fine acoustics of the Grange’s theatre to strongly expressive purposes.” – Robert Hugill, Planet Hugill 10 July 2022
