Hi! Thanks!!!

 

For those in Spain, I guess that this concert will be broadcasted by La 2 of RTVE, the second channel of our National TV, but not 100% sure yet. Will confirm ASAP. If it happens like this, you will be able to watch the same day at the website and after too. www.rtve.es

 

Best,

Pilar

Hi everyone, 

 

Thanks to you all for the above news - absolutely marvellous - thank goodness "our boy" managed it - he must be over the moon and so pleased.  Maybe, at long last, things are getting a bit better for him, we hope!

Hi Florin,

 

Was just coming out of everything and saw you had posted something - DID NOT expect above pictures - absolutely great - thanks a million for posting them.  Doesn`t HE look good.  When Pietro had said he saw him in rehearsal - a comment I added to photo in Facebook I said we didn`t need FBI or CIA, we had a fantastic network in operation of our own - just goes to prove!

 

Thanks again, Florin.
