It'll be audience participation then

Well, I got to the Albert Hall two hours ahead of the UOGB Prom... and the queue is already stretching to the IC Union entrance.

And you know that Far Side cartoon with the caption "Suddenly, Professor Smith realised he'd forgotten his duck"? Looking around me, that's how I feel - except it's a ukulele I look like I've forgotten.

There's going to be a lot of accompaniment tonight.

They've apparently been queuing since this morning.

You can't get a ukulele simulator for the iPhone?

I fear the volume on my iPhone wouldn't quite compete!

We've been given tickets to show our position in the queue (I'm 891). This means I can briefly nip round to the Union Bar, wave my life membership card, and avail myself of a pint of Hog's Back. Huzzah!

Incidentally, if this means you've got in, I want a blow-by-blow account of the entire performance afterwards. I'm listening to it on the radio and it's driving me crazy because I can't see it.

Did you get in? I was up in the circle, and thought the sea of ukuleles waving below was a most impressive sight...
