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.
