BiTS:  I'm not going to take much more of your time.


    RP:    Yes,  it's  a  great  pleasure.    I  have  something  to  ask  you.  I  forgot  to  tell  you
    something  very  important.    In  the  UK  there  is  a  national  organisation  called
    Harmonica  UK,  and  I  have  the  honour  to  be  ambassador  for  the  Harmonica  UK

    organisation,  and  they  welcomed  us—a    great
    honour—several times. It's true that I should have
    talked  about  them  before,  and  unfortunately,  I

    didn't  think  at  the  moment  you  asked  me  the
    question. So it was just to say a little hello to them
    and also to the team at RSL Awards, which is like

    a  high  school  for  music.  Ben  Hewlett,  a  UK
    harmonica  player,  very  well-known  and  an
    amazing  teacher  is  making  some  harmonica

    classes for RSL Awards, and I had the honour to
    receive a diploma from them at our last venue for
    a concert. So it was very important for me to say

    this about them.

    BiTS:  Is this the event that takes place in Bristol?

    RP:  Yes, I don't remember exactly where they are

    now, but exactly at this time it was in Bristol.

    BiTS:  Yes, I remember seeing an advertisement

    for it.

    RP:  Yeah.

    BiTS:  Thank you both for speaking to me. Have a  wonderful rest of the day.


    RP:  Thank you so much, Ian. It's amazing to have you online and thank you so much
    for this time and for this interview.

    BiTS:  My pleasure. I like chatting to great musicians [chuckles].

    RP:  Thank you so much.


    BiTS:  Okay, thank you. Au revoir.

    RP:  Thank you so much.

    PH:  Bye now.
