Tuesday, 29 September 2009

4BR has spoken exclusively to Philip Harper after he led Tongwynlais Temperance to the National First Section title in Harrogate on the weekend — and all off the dreaded number 1 draw!

Philip reveals just what he felt after getting the news of the draw and how he and his band managed to put it to the back of their minds to secure an impressive victory.

All this and next year his 'Kingdom of Dragons' will be used as an Area test piece too.
