Childs wows Last Night Prom

4BR talks to exclusively to David Childs, composer Karl Jenkins, Emma Carr and Bob Childs after the euph star wows the Last Night Welsh Proms.

Childs
 

4BR was at the Last Night of the Welsh Proms on the weekend, where euphonium star David Childs wowed the audience with the world premiere of the Karl Jenkins Euphonium Concerto.

Caught up

We caught up with the Cory star straight after his thrilling performance, and managed to find out just what the composer, Karl Jenkins, and some other interested parties thought of it all.
