Devised and presented by Owen Gunnell and Oliver Cox
With special guest star James Mackenzie (CBBC's Raven)
We had an absolutely fantastic time at our Magic and Monsters concerts in Glasgow and Edinburgh, and hope you did too! Everyone made a great effort with their amazing costumes. Even the normally serious Royal Scottish National Orchestra were dressed up - we had a skeleton conductor, a Scooby Doo violinist and a group of monks playing trombones! The judging of the Hallowe'en costumes was a very difficult job as they were all so good, but eventually the judges made their minds up and chose three lucky prize-winners.
Owen and Olly did a great job of presenting as usual, and the audience loved Owen's surfing adventure as he swam for his life ahead of the big scary shark! And surely the highlight of the show was the appearance of the superb Raven, who really brought the story of Misterstourworm to life, leaving the audience totally transfixed. We also had some wonderful entertainment in the foyer before the Glasgow concert, in the form of the Artsnet Jazz Band.
Here are some photos of the Glasgow concert on 31st October!
