Hello and welcome to the The One Show. Here is the thing, tonight's | :00:24. | :00:30. | |
guest is called Clarkson. Yes, but it is not that one! | :00:30. | :00:39. | |
It is this one. # Because of you | :00:39. | :00:46. | |
# I never stay too far from the sidewalk # | :00:46. | :00:54. | |
She has sold over 20 million albums. And has eight UK top tens and two | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
Grammy Awards. It is Kelly Clarkson. | :00:58. | :01:08. | |
:01:08. | :01:10. | ||
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING I was embarrassed. I realised I'm | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
singing along to Kelly Clarkson and she is sitting right there! That's | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
awesome. You can't help it, Alex. | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
So you have just landed in the UK. Yes. | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
But were you here in time to see the jubilee celebrations? We came | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
yesterday later. I was asleep in the car. I only got four hours | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
sleep on the plane. We had four planes, we had a rough travel day | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
so it was funny, but it wasn't really bad. Are you a movie | :01:37. | :01:45. | |
watcher? Yeah. I was trying to watch Hugo. That's not a movie to | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
watch while you are tired. It is a slow movie. I was like this, like | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
nodding. It is a good movie, but I was just | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
tired. You look nice and awake now. | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
We will be talking to Kelly about what it was like to win one of the | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
biggest talent shows in the world. And we will be meeting another | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
extraordinary musician. It is Nicholas McCarthy, who | :02:08. | :02:15. | |
despite being born with only one hand has gone on to become a piano | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
maestro. How about that, Kelly? You will see him in a moment. Yeah, you | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
will meet him later. Kelly shot to fame when she won American Idol | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
after years of work to go get her talent recognised. Sometimes those | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
who don't want the spotlight get it anyway. Larry Lamb has the story of | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
four girls from Bristol who were famous from the very moment they | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
were born. To become a mother is one of | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
nature's most wonderful gift. On 12th June 1948, Margaret Good | :02:48. | :02:55. | |
Good had a special delivery, four beautiful girls and the they | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
survived Caesarean section. News agencies scrambled to the scene, | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
but it was the Picture Post that captured the moment. | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
Picture Post says, "Before June, they were an unknown couple." But | :03:09. | :03:19. | |
:03:19. | :03:19. | ||
within 24 hours of giving birth at Bristol's Southmead Hospital, Mrs | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
Good has been photographed for the papers and the news reels. | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
It was a sign of things to come. The Good girls would grow up under | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
the watch watchful eye of the media. The authorities would have the | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
family under the microscope too. In 40s Britain, doctor knew best and | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
they ruled that the quads should be isolated from their mother for | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
three months for fear of infection. With father Charles, supporting a | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
family of now seven, on his poor wage as a farm labourer, the | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
council ordered the family to be re-housed near Bristol. The council | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
turned two homes into one to make room for their famous tenants, mum, | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
dad, older sister, Susan and the four celebrity babies. They even | :04:07. | :04:17. | |
:04:17. | :04:21. | ||
changed the name of this street to the scwap street scwap scwadrangle. | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
Today, the sisters are back, but without one of their four, Brigitte, | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
who died when they were 36. The One Show brought the girls home for the | :04:31. | :04:38. | |
first time in six decades. There used to be a doorway here and | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
mime mother and father and Susan lived in number one at the other | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
side and the nannies and us lived in this house, number two. | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
The sisters continued to make the front pages, but behind the scenes, | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
the authorities took control. Under doctors orders, two full-time | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
nurses were put in charge of the quads' care. | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
I suppose we were just living separate lives. My mother didn't | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
hold us or bring us home from the hospital until we were three months | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
old so she never really had a bond with us. We found her diaries. She | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
mentioned in there that she felt that she had been a bad mother | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
which is really, really hard for us to accept. We didn't want the | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
nannies attention and the media attention. | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
You wanted your parents attention? Yes. | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
But the girls wouldn't escape the attention of the world's media. The | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
Good brand would sell everything from washing machines, trikes and | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
baby milk. But the sponsorship deals often came at a price. | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
Other people were trying to make money out of us. We went to a | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
holiday camp when we were small. They put us in a room with a glass | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
window and they were charging a penny a time for people to have a | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
look through the window. The council wanted to do the same. | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
Sort of exhibit you? Yes, exactly. My mother said there is no way is | :06:04. | :06:11. | |
that happening to us. As the quads grew older, the media | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
frenzy started to wane. Even the death of sister, Brigitte, in 1984 | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
didn't create much column space, but it was felt by the remaining | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
three. We have always done things together, | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
born together, played together, eaten together and then all of a | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
sudden, one quarter has gone. lose part of you. It is really, | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
really hard. But life goes on for the remaining | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
three. No longer the property of the newspapers, marketing men, | :06:41. | :06:50. | |
council or doctors, they are happy What a lovely time you had with | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
them, Larry? It is so lovely the jobs I get to do for The One Show. | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
You can laugh. These extraordinary situations, I mean to meet these | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
three remaining sisters, of this obviously such a close, close | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
relationship, these girls have and had, you know, and there was a | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
sister that was born before them so she, I think she was about three, | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
had four four quad sisters and because the way they were brought | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
up, the council was trying to deal with this extraordinary media event, | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
even then in 1948, they knocked two council houses together and put | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
them in the one house, but what they did, they had nurses and | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
guardians on one side and them in the other and so, I had a letter | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
from the lady, one of the sisters, after then and she sent me a letter | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
saying we had a lovely time and we talked about it afterwards and we | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
didn't really know our parents until we were three. | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
So what was it like taking the girls back to that house? It was a | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
funny farming hamlet in the middle of nowhere in a part of the country | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
I know a little bit about. In part of the West Country, these little | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
farming centres and there was a couple of houses and it just felt | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
bizarre to walk in these places with these sisters. | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
They weren't the first to hit the headlines? No, but it seems the | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
multiple births is something that catches the public's imagination | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
because everyone is into having kids and they think, "How am I | :08:27. | :08:34. | |
going to to deal with them?". everyone is into having kids! | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
That's what I used to say. This is a great shot. This is five | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
of them lined up. That's a lovely picture. And they were the first | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
ones to survive and they were born in Canada in 194 and there was a | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
problem -- 1934 and there was a problem with the parents not being | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
considered suitable to raise them. They were raised by a doctor and | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
nurses and then they found out they were starting to make money out of | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
them and they were sort of paraded. I mean this is the house. Look at | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
the advertising and all sorts and people paid money to see that. | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
Were they taken away from their parents? Yes. | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
Forever? I didn't meet them, but they weren't, they were put under a | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
form of guardianship, they were made wards of the court by the | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
Province of Ontario and they were raised by a doctor and nurses and | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
the doctors and the nurses were getting in on the acand were | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
starting to rent them out. They built a stand, 6,000 people a day | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
were coming on an observation platform to look at them. | :09:41. | :09:50. | |
Kelly, we were explaining how diverse this show was. I'm so sad | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
for these kids. They have to be really messed up to take their | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
children away. We are moving on to farming now. | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
Our dairy farmers... That's a quick emotional change. | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
Texas is not the only weird place! This topic will get you going | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
because our dairy farmers are being paid less and less for their milk | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
so they are having to turn to any means possible to survive. | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
Simon Boazman has been to meet a man with a secret weapon. | :10:23. | :10:30. | |
It is aam and it is milking time for Somerset's 150,000 dairy cows, | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
but for most farmers that means an early start and hours of work, for | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
some, the day starts in a more leisurely fashion. This looks like | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
an ordinary cow shed, but it has a secret weapon that will help the | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
farmer here succeed in the highly competitive world of milk. It is | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
milking time, but there is not a soul about, because on this farm, | :10:53. | :11:03. | |
:11:03. | :11:04. | ||
the cows are milked by robots! It will pick up the teet co- | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
ordinate. It is a laser guided milking | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
system? Yes. The cows milk themselves. | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
Electronic tags in their collars tell the robot if the cow has been | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
mill milked and will allow access through the gate. A robotic arm | :11:20. | :11:28. | |
swings into action, before lasers guide the suction cups on to the | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
teets. How much more efficient is it? Now we milk three times a day | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
without getting involved with the milking. We are producing more milk | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
from each cow than before. Which is good news, as the price | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
paid to farmers for milk has been cut by around a penny a pint. | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
Whilst it may not sound like a lot, to the average dairy farmer | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
producing a couple of million pints a year, that's �20,000 off their | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
bottom line. Now the price farmers are paid for milk is determined by | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
international markets and currently farmers in other countries are | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
producing way too much. The average price paid for a pint of milk in | :12:09. | :12:15. | |
the UK shops is 32 pence. 11 pence which is a third, about say around | :12:15. | :12:22. | |
that much, goes to the retailer. Sixpence, about that much, goes to | :12:22. | :12:32. | |
:12:32. | :12:34. | ||
the processor and the rest, 15 pence, that goes to the farmer. | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
Dr Jane Guise runs England's largest agricultural show. | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
Do you think the retailers are paying a fair price for the milk? | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
Retailers will only pay a global market price and the global market | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
price is low. It is not fair as far as the primary producer is | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
concerned. Do we need to pay more? It seems | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
weird that people will pay as much for a bottle of water than milk. | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
This is full of protein and calcium. This is just water. Is there a | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
danger that we will lose small farms because of the pressure on | :13:08. | :13:16. | |
dairy farmers? There is that danger, yes and that would be a tragedy. | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
Gorge is one of those -- George is one of the smaller dairy farmers | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
with a herd of 80 milk cows. George gets up at 4am every morning and | :13:26. | :13:33. | |
spends three hours milking his 80 Friesian cows. | :13:33. | :13:42. | |
Simon, this is our mobile milk unit. Do you stroke her first? I will | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
always be gentle with a lady. He is finding it harder and harder | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
to make a living. The feed prices are increasing. | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
Milk prices are decreasing. Where does it stop? George is | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
thinking about get agro botic system in-- robotic system | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
installed. How will it make you more efficient? It will make us | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
more labour efficient. Allow us to be more feed efficient and reduce | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
vets bills and that combined will allow us to make a profitable | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
living. The processors that buy the milk | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
say they are react to go market conditions and the low prices in | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
the shops mean they are also taking losses. Last month, the Government | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
introduced plans to bring in a watchdog to stop retailers having | :14:27. | :14:37. | |
:14:37. | :14:38. | ||
too much power in setting low prices. It will cost �500,000 with | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
the robots and the sheds. After capital outlay, any profit we might | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
make, the supermarkets and retailers will take it from you and | :14:46. | :14:56. | |
My brother-in-law is a dairy farmer and I don't know anybody that works | :14:56. | :15:04. | |
harder. And are you lactose intolerant, Kelly? I was wondering | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
how you transition and that was nice! Let's talk about American | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
idol, which you won in 2002, the most successful winner of a talent | :15:14. | :15:20. | |
show. Was your experience all good? I don't think any experience is all | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
good because then you do not learn anything. It was great for me to | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
start off that way, for my career, because I will never do anything | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
like that. That schedule was hard core. We were the first season, so | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
we did not really know. They have been so many reality shows since | :15:39. | :15:48. | |
then. And there are so many artists. In America there are four or 5. | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
Shows on TV? Artists in the charts that have come off the back of | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
these. Do you think it has diluted what you managed to achieve from | :15:57. | :16:03. | |
that first show? No, I think everyone is different. It is supply | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
and demand. People love to watch those shows and people love | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
investing in the artist and getting to know them before the music. It | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
is kind of genius in the sense that you get famous before you even have | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
an album. There are so many winners and you only hear from so many of | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
them, so it is really what you take with that 15 minutes and how hard | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
you are willing to work for it. is interesting to get the fan base | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
first. It is genius. You have had some blinding albums since. Let's | :16:32. | :16:42. | |
have a listen to your new single. # Everybody's got a dark side. | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
# Do you love me? # Can you love mine? | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
# Nobody's a picture perfect. # But we're worth it. | :16:47. | :16:57. | |
:16:57. | :17:00. | ||
# You know that we're worth it. Another belter. Dark Side, your | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
brand new single. I love it. They did not write that song, but as | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
soon as it was pitched to me I was like, I am going to need that for | :17:09. | :17:15. | |
my album! I love it. You have got the style of this modern power | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
ballad that comes from deep within. Where does that come from in you? | :17:19. | :17:27. | |
like a lot of powerhouse, Annie Lennox, all those girls that do | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
that kind of stuff. I probably exceeded it because I am slightly | :17:31. | :17:41. | |
:17:41. | :17:42. | ||
in a way imitating it. You are not that old. I am 30, told to some and | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
young to others depending on who you ask. We have describe yourself | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
as the Queen of break-up, which you are, let me tell you. Everybody | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
describe me as that for years. I was like, well, I guess. That album | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
was stuck in my car because I listened to it so much and I went | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
through many break-ups. Every time somebody tells me they love my | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
record I am sorry because they must be going through something! It is | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
fine. It is therapeutic for me to get it out like that. Now you are | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
happier in your relationship. What is going to happen? Everything is | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
happy that is coming out of May. I either have to go get someone else | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
to write my music, or I have to start singing Happy stuff for you | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
all. Try it! Think of your favourite songs, they are probably | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
not happy ones. You are probably right. I think we gravitate towards | :18:35. | :18:41. | |
that. We are glad you are happy and Dark Side is amazing. In the run-up | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
to the Olympics, British athletes are doing everything they can to | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
improve their chances. Some are even changing the very air that | :18:49. | :18:55. | |
they breed. Michael Mosley explains. -- that they breathe. For decades, | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
runners from East Africa have been taking home gold from the Olympics. | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
They have dominated middle and long-distance running. So what is | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
the secret of their success? Dedication, training, natural | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
ability. But some people believe it is also down to the air that they | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
breathe. That the successful runners from East Africa all hail | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
from around the famous Rift Valley. They never over 2000 metres above | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
sea level. At such altitude there is less oxygen in every gulp of air. | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
So what advantages could athletes get from living at such heights? | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
Helen Clitheroe from Preston is the European 3000 metres champion, and | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
a medal hopeful this summer. Like many UK athletes, she has been | :19:43. | :19:48. | |
training in the Kenyan Highlands as part of her Olympic preparations. | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
Why do you do it? When you come back home after being at altitude, | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
the thing you notice the most is that you can suddenly chip along at | :19:56. | :20:02. | |
a decent pace without breathing so hard. Our bodies respond to high | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
altitude in an ingenious way. No oxygen triggers the production of | :20:07. | :20:14. | |
more red blood cells. That allows us to carries a limited oxygen | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
around the body better. The theory goes that at sea level the increase | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
in red blood cells carries oxygen to your working muscles more | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
efficiently. I have noticed a massive difference. I have had | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
personal bests at the 3000 metres and I have won my first major | :20:31. | :20:37. | |
championships, at the age of 37. That is quite something! Many | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
athletes and sports scientists swear by altitude training. To | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
experience what it is like I have come to Manchester Metropolitan | :20:45. | :20:51. | |
University. This chamber has the same oxygen levels as you would | :20:51. | :20:57. | |
find at 2700 metres. 25% less than at sea level. I am feeling it now | :20:57. | :21:04. | |
in the chest. I am feeling what I imagine it must be like to be | :21:04. | :21:11. | |
asthmatic. Rye at altitude before you are acclimatised is really hard. | :21:11. | :21:20. | |
-- running at altitude. Gosh! That was painful, very difficult in fact. | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
Completely different to going for a normal run when you feel it in your | :21:23. | :21:28. | |
legs. It was burning in my lungs. And it is not just me. Until they | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
have adjusted, top athletes cannot train so intensively at altitude. | :21:34. | :21:42. | |
When they return to sea level, their fitness can suffer. I can | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
feel my breakfast! Helen Clitheroe has turned to technology for help. | :21:45. | :21:51. | |
It allows her to train at sea level, while still living the high life. | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
Around her bed, she has set up an oxygen tent that mimics the effect | :21:55. | :22:03. | |
of high altitude. I will close it to keep the nasty oxidant out. Air | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
containing low oxygen levels is pumped into the tent while she | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
sleeps. And it gives you a blast every so often? I can see that in | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
summer it would be nice. You need it because it gets sweaty in here. | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
What does your husband make of it? He wears earplugs but I have got | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
used to the noise. Helen seems to have found a combination that works | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
for her. She sleeps at a low oxygen level, which is good for her red | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
blood cells, but at the same time she trains during the day down here | :22:35. | :22:41. | |
in Preston, where she can really push herself hard. And like cannon, | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
many other UK athletes have adopted this trainer low sleep high | :22:46. | :22:55. | |
strategy, in the hope that it will need them up to Olympic glory. -- | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
lead them to Olympic glory. You're completely bemused by that. | :23:00. | :23:07. | |
Bewildered would be the word! sure her husband last sleeping in a | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
plastic tent! From Olympic heroes to brave heroes on your estate. | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
Later this year the BBC will host the first ever 999 awards, | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
honouring members of the emergency services who put their lives at | :23:20. | :23:30. | |
:23:30. | :23:35. | ||
risk to save others. And we have been given our very own 999 if you | :23:35. | :23:41. | |
know -- we have been given our very own 999 award. If you know somebody | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
that has done very well in their job, please nominate them. The | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
closing date is midnight on June 29th. After the Jubilee concert, it | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
is obvious how much music can unite people. If you need further proof, | :23:55. | :24:02. | |
Carrie Grant has got it. In the arena of classical music, | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
Charles Hazlewood is a world- renowned conductor. But recently, | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
he has been rehearsing with a different kind of orchestra, the | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
British para-orchestra. It is the world's first made up entirely of | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
disabled musicians. Today is the first time they have all come | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
together as an orchestra to play. Let's see how they are getting on. | :24:22. | :24:29. | |
How is it going? Excited beyond belief. I am loving it. Can I join | :24:29. | :24:37. | |
in? That depends how good you are. People look at the Paralympics, and | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
thinking what an incredible thing it is. I thought that sport was | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
universal but music is much more so, so where are the platforms were | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
musicians with a disability? When there are disabled projects, we | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
think it is nice and warm and fluffy, but that is not what this | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
is. This is world class music making. One of the first musicians | :24:57. | :25:03. | |
to come on board was Clarence, a hugely talented trumpet player. He | :25:04. | :25:10. | |
performed with Judge prodigy Courtney Pine. When he was that | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
paralysed in 1995, he did not know if he could perform again. But he | :25:13. | :25:19. | |
was introduced to an inventor. thought from a previous technical | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
experience that I could find a way so that he could play music again. | :25:23. | :25:28. | |
I did some research and I found I had said that uses ultrasound, with | :25:28. | :25:34. | |
which she can control a mouse on a computer screen. -- he can control. | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
And there is a little glow switch with which you can click the mouse. | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
It is like a software instrument with many different abilities. | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
can simulate an orchestra, a trumpet, trombone. Many things. It | :25:48. | :25:55. | |
just depends what, in this situation with this orchestra, what | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
they need from me as to what I contribute. I will play music and | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
the release that gives me and the joy and a passion and the emotions | :26:04. | :26:13. | |
from playing, that is an incredible joy for me. Lute player Matt | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
Wadsworth has been blind since birth. Do you think there is any | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
advantage in music not having your eyesight? I am so glad not to have | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
the distraction of having to look at the printed page or being | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
distracted by somebody reading their programme on the front row of | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
the audience. He has never let his disability hold him back. The funny | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
part of my life, I rode a motorcycle as a child, as obsessed | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
with that as I was as a child. But last year I trained to do a long- | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
distance motorcycle event and I did OK. I went 70 feet. Some people | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
would say that is just a little bit crazy. I think you have to push the | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
boundaries in life. I like living that way, why you do not let things | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
get in your way, but you see things as a challenge rather than an | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
obstacle. As extraordinary as this experience has been for me, Charles | :27:05. | :27:12. | |
Baynes it is only the beginning. And calling it the British | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
orchestra because I hope it will be the first of many. This has to be | :27:17. | :27:24. | |
the future. The software that Clarence had was | :27:24. | :27:29. | |
amazing. Thank you for joining us, Charles. Where did you get the | :27:29. | :27:33. | |
inspiration? The youngest of my children, my daughter, was born | :27:33. | :27:37. | |
with cerebral palsy. Aside from the fact that she is amazing to have | :27:37. | :27:41. | |
around, she has introduced me to the disabled community, which was | :27:41. | :27:45. | |
invisible to me before. As a musician conducting orchestra's, | :27:45. | :27:50. | |
how many disabled musicians do I find? Virtually none. It was time | :27:50. | :27:55. | |
to do something about it. When are you on the road? An orchestra only | :27:55. | :28:01. | |
ever has one debut and it is so exciting, and it is on the 1st July | :28:01. | :28:03. | |
in Somerset in a field in the grounds of Glastonbury Abbey. We | :28:03. | :28:08. | |
want everyone to support us there. We heard you play earlier. How did | :28:08. | :28:12. | |
you learn to play with your left hand? I came to the piano really | :28:12. | :28:17. | |
late, actually, when I was 14. It was a friend of mine, an | :28:17. | :28:21. | |
accomplished pianist, and I heard her playing and I thought that was | :28:21. | :28:24. | |
what I had to do. Playing one- handed, do you have to play twice | :28:24. | :28:30. | |
the speed? It is more virtuoso because it is cleverly written. I | :28:30. | :28:33. | |
cannot really take all of the credit. You have to encompass the | :28:33. | :28:38. | |
whole piano. You are going to play for us in just a second. But | :28:38. | :28:42. | |
firstly, thank you for coming in. And thank you to Kelly as well. | :28:42. | :28:47. |
