0:00:07 > 0:00:09Tonight we are in the beautiful surroundings of Brimham Rocks
0:00:09 > 0:00:15in North Yorkshire.
0:00:18 > 0:00:19Welcome to Inside Out.
0:00:19 > 0:00:29I'm Paul Hudson.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32We speak to the women who claim that their employers right
0:00:32 > 0:00:35here in Yorkshire have treated them like domestic slaves.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36We are trapped in this system.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38You know, that tolerates abuse, that tolerate slavery.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40We take an exclusive look inside a
0:00:40 > 0:00:42controversial military college which takes recruits
0:00:42 > 0:00:45from the age of 16.
0:00:45 > 0:00:50I'm definitely sticking it out. It's the job for me.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52And, later in the programme, the music students
0:00:52 > 0:00:54performing with an '80s pop icon.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56It's really inspiring.
0:00:56 > 0:01:06It's going to be a great show, I think.
0:01:07 > 0:01:08First, the hidden story of the
0:01:08 > 0:01:10foreign domestic workers who are exploited, beaten,
0:01:10 > 0:01:13and abused, right here in Yorkshire, many come to the
0:01:13 > 0:01:15UK as maids or nannies to raise money for
0:01:15 > 0:01:18families back home but, as I've been finding out,
0:01:18 > 0:01:21what appears to be a dream job can turn
0:01:21 > 0:01:26into a living nightmare.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29This is a story that's taken me by surprise.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33I knew that foreign people were employed as domestic
0:01:33 > 0:01:37helpers, mainly in the rich suburbs of London.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39What I hadn't quite appreciated was how many foreign workers
0:01:39 > 0:01:42are in this part of the world and why, for some of them,
0:01:43 > 0:01:50abuse has become part of the job.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Both man, he raped me, the side of the other.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53She's threatening me.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55She says she has connections to the police and wherever
0:01:55 > 0:01:59I go, they will find me.
0:01:59 > 0:02:05It's a place where even if you shout for help, no-one can hear you.
0:02:06 > 0:02:14Cecilia is from the Philippines and is a former domestic worker
0:02:14 > 0:02:14who now lives in Barnsley.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18But her life as a maid to one rich family left her devastated.
0:02:18 > 0:02:26My employer, he raped me and I am screaming but he held me, my mouth,
0:02:26 > 0:02:30to no screaming because the wife sleep there in the bedroom.
0:02:30 > 0:02:36And then, following day, the son again, he did
0:02:36 > 0:02:39the same things.
0:02:39 > 0:02:44And I can't tell. I can't do anything.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46The memories are still vivid even though the attack took
0:02:46 > 0:02:51place in the Middle East more than 20 years ago.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54I tell to the son, maybe it's you.
0:02:54 > 0:02:55The baby I carried.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00And he do like that.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04My stomach, because I am pregnant, to take out my baby.
0:03:04 > 0:03:09He said it's my fault.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Cecilia's troubles didn't end there ? she was brought to the UK
0:03:12 > 0:03:14by another family and says she spent much of her time
0:03:14 > 0:03:18locked in the house.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20When the moment came, she took action.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22I opened the window.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24My employer.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26And I jumped.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28I didn't know, it's a little bit higher.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30I'm thinking, lower, the window.
0:03:30 > 0:03:40A little bit higher.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43I'm never looking, straight into the main road in London.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46I said, this is my freedom here in England.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48I go to find a new life.
0:03:48 > 0:03:53It is absolutely heartbreaking to hear the repeated ordeal that
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Cecilia has had to face in her life, and shocking that this is happening
0:03:57 > 0:04:05in this day and age.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Unfortunately, Cecilia's story isn't an isolated one.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09We've spoken to another domestic worker who's asked us
0:04:09 > 0:04:10to protect her identity.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13She says she's had jobs in Yorkshire where her wages have been withheld
0:04:13 > 0:04:16and she's been bullied.
0:04:16 > 0:04:21I was bathing the children and they were shouting.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Then my employer came from her room and shouted "You haven't disciplined
0:04:24 > 0:04:27the children" and she said, "leave my premises right now."
0:04:27 > 0:04:30When she said that, I went to my room to pack my things
0:04:30 > 0:04:33and she threw a stool at me and it was lucky
0:04:33 > 0:04:39that it didn't hit me.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43Alice says, as well as physical violence there were threats, too.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46I said it is better that I leave and she said "No,
0:04:46 > 0:04:49you cannot leave because you need the work and you cannot change
0:04:49 > 0:04:52employer because I have connections in immigration."
0:04:52 > 0:04:58I was afraid at anytime she could send me back to the Philippines.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Alice eventually found work elsewhere and she's told us
0:05:01 > 0:05:07she now much happier.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Rules around the employment of foreign workers have changed
0:05:10 > 0:05:12quite a bit in the last few years.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15In 2012, the Home Office brought in new regulations that effectively
0:05:16 > 0:05:21tied a worker to the same employer.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24But it meant if relationships went sour it was often very
0:05:24 > 0:05:27difficult for workers to leave and find a new job.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30In April this year the visa regulations were tweaked again,
0:05:30 > 0:05:33giving workers the right to switch employers.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37But with visas lasting six months or less, domestic helpers often have
0:05:37 > 0:05:41some hard choices ? leave and try and find a new job in the remaining
0:05:41 > 0:05:44time, or stay and suffer abuse to earn the cash they need
0:05:44 > 0:05:53to send back home.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56They are trapped in the system that tolerates abuse,
0:05:56 > 0:06:00that tolerates slavery, that tolerates trafficking.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03While many domestic helpers have a good experience in the UK ?
0:06:03 > 0:06:07we've heard stories of workers' passports being taken away
0:06:07 > 0:06:10by their employers ? and of some people going to extreme lengths
0:06:10 > 0:06:13to terrorise their staff.
0:06:13 > 0:06:18Some of them, it's like the iron. The employer would iron the hand.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Of course, it's visible. We can see that.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26The hot water, you know, covered all over the body.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Marrissa's organisation helps the victims of
0:06:28 > 0:06:32abuse start a new life.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Until recently their only branch was in London ? but their increasing
0:06:35 > 0:06:40case load means there's now one in Leeds.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43A domestic worker in Yorkshire, telling me that I will
0:06:43 > 0:06:46run away at midnight.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Then I had to keep her online.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53The moment they are out of the house, especially
0:06:53 > 0:06:56if they have problem in English.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59And then, I would just say, someone pass the phone to them
0:06:59 > 0:07:03and I will talk to them.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Can you please direct her to the station, to the train
0:07:06 > 0:07:11or bus station.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14So, then I say, I will tell her they are waiting
0:07:14 > 0:07:15for you in Victoria.
0:07:15 > 0:07:22So when you arrive in Victoria, I'm there.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25And for those who do flee, there is some hope.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Hello. Nice to see you.
0:07:28 > 0:07:35Jheff Migano runs a store selling Asian food to some of the 5,000
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Philippinos who live in Yorkshire ? and it's to his shop that many women
0:07:38 > 0:07:40come when they need help.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42From the first glance, you can see the loneliness
0:07:42 > 0:07:43on their faces.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44They are scared.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46They don't know if police or immigration are
0:07:46 > 0:07:48going to come for them.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Jheff's resources are limited ? but he says he can't turn them away.
0:07:52 > 0:07:58If they come to me, I can give them food and accommodation, that's it.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00But, about this, I don't know anything about it so they should
0:08:00 > 0:08:10have a support for them, these victims.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Jeff does what he can ? but there are others offering help.
0:08:17 > 0:08:18Good afternoon. Salvation Army.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20The Salvation Army gives assistance to domestic workers
0:08:20 > 0:08:22who are being abused, they say the number of calls
0:08:22 > 0:08:25they get about slavery is rising.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27There's an increasing number of victims of labour exploitation
0:08:27 > 0:08:35but also domestic servitude.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37In Yorkshire, we're seeing an increase in referrals,
0:08:37 > 0:08:44along every category of this kind of exploitation.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46The Home Office say they're introducing reforms to ensure
0:08:46 > 0:08:48workers are better protected from abuse and slavery.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51The Modern Slavery Act will, they say, give overseas domestic
0:08:51 > 0:08:53workers who are potential victims of modern slavery immunity
0:08:53 > 0:08:59from immigration enforcement action.
0:08:59 > 0:09:09Back in Barnsley, Cecilia's life is now much better.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14She has a steady job in the care sector, but she can never forget
0:09:14 > 0:09:15what happened to her.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18I don't want to see, it stayed with me, I've suffered before.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21I don't want people to suffer the same way I have suffered before.
0:09:21 > 0:09:31And I don't want it.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Who knows what goes on behind closed doors, but at least there's hope
0:09:35 > 0:09:38that the voices who've remained silent for so long may
0:09:38 > 0:09:39finally be heard.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42And if you're affected by any of the issues in my report or you're
0:09:42 > 0:09:48concerned about someone, there is a confidential helpline.
0:09:48 > 0:09:58Or there is advice on the website modernslavery.co.uk
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Still to come on Inside Out: '80s pop icon Mark Almond
0:10:03 > 0:10:06takes a group of music students to perform on the big stage.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Now, how young is too young to sign up for a life in the military?
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Well, there's just one college in the country
0:10:12 > 0:10:18which actively recruits 16 and 17-year-olds
0:10:18 > 0:10:19which actively recruits 16- and 17-year-olds
0:10:19 > 0:10:22and it's just down the road.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Olivia Richwald has been given exclusive access to the
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Harrogate Army Foundation College and its latest batch of recruits.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Next three rounds. It's in the middle.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32A couple of times just getting beasted
0:10:32 > 0:10:35when I did something wrong.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37One, two, three!
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Wanting to leave.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43There are times when I have wanted to leave.
0:10:43 > 0:10:48I'm definitely sticking it out, it's the job for me.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59Too young to drink, too young to vote, old enough to join the Army
0:10:59 > 0:11:03and be trained to kill.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05These are Yorkshire's teenage Army recruits.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09They can sign up fresh from school.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12The paperwork commits them to study here for a year,
0:11:12 > 0:11:16in exchange for wages of ?1200 a month.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19From their 18th birthday they'll be committed to serving
0:11:19 > 0:11:22four years in the Army.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25I want to travel, get better qualifications,
0:11:25 > 0:11:28make new friends and have a better life for myself.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31I've always wanted to do something a bit more exciting
0:11:31 > 0:11:33than the day-to-day job.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38I think the army will give me what I wanted.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Since you were, sort of, ten, 11, you've always
0:11:40 > 0:11:41talked about it.
0:11:41 > 0:11:47We were, yes, yes, he'll grow out of it but never did.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Junior soldiers have been trained here in Harrogate
0:11:50 > 0:11:56for the past 18 years.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59The MoD invests tens of thousands of pounds in each recruit
0:11:59 > 0:12:04and they have to be very dedicated before they're accepted here.
0:12:04 > 0:12:09Harrogate's Army Foundation College is controversial.
0:12:09 > 0:12:17It's the only place in the country where children, those aged 16 and 17
0:12:17 > 0:12:18those aged 16 and 17,
0:12:18 > 0:12:19can join the military.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Critics say 16 is too young to make that kind of commitment.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25But those who come here spend around 30% of their time in the classroom
0:12:25 > 0:12:35and the education results achieved here are remarkable.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Some of them come with a reading age of between a five
0:12:38 > 0:12:39and seven-year-old.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42A lot of them come with a reading age between a nine and 11-year-olds.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45A lot of them come with a reading age between a nine and 11-year-old.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48The ones that have just left did fantastically, they have
0:12:48 > 0:12:50progressed if not one level, two levels for some of them,
0:12:50 > 0:12:52which is a great achievement in the short amount
0:12:52 > 0:12:59of time we have them here.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00Fewer than 10% of recruits are female.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03But they're expected to work just as hard as the boys.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05In addition to the gruelling physical regime, 17-year-old
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Demi Allan from Edinburgh has started boxing ? if she can train
0:13:08 > 0:13:10hard enough she might make the Army boxing team ?
0:13:10 > 0:13:17which will be a fantastic start to her military career.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19I enjoy the fitness, the fighting,
0:13:19 > 0:13:24just the team spirit. I like it.
0:13:24 > 0:13:29Action drill starts in nine seconds.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Don your respirator before the gas gets into your system.
0:13:31 > 0:13:36The junior soldiers are now halfway through their training and this
0:13:36 > 0:13:39is something they dread on the timetable, they're
0:13:39 > 0:13:45going into the CS gas chamber.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55What I want you to do now is carry out immediate decontamination.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Although you can't see it,
0:13:57 > 0:14:01this shed is filled with CS ? or tear - gas.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Contact with it causes coughing, dizziness,
0:14:03 > 0:14:09burning eyes and sickness.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Junior soldiers need to be able to handle a chemical incident.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15And today they're being tested to see if they can decontaminate
0:14:15 > 0:14:19their masks, faces and water supply.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22When you first take it off, it isn't too bad.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23Just your eyes start watering.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27And then you're in there for longer and you start breathing in.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Horrible, can't breathe, You've got snot running
0:14:29 > 0:14:30down your face.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32You know, pretty sights.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33You feel like you're choking and burning.
0:14:34 > 0:14:34Happy it's over?
0:14:34 > 0:14:41Happy it's over, yeah.
0:14:42 > 0:14:48From here the challenges will only get tougher.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51We've joined the junior soldiers on one of their main field exercises
0:14:51 > 0:14:53near Catterick Garrison.
0:14:53 > 0:15:02They're sleeping rough here in the woods, living
0:15:02 > 0:15:03in sleeping bags and on ration packs.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07This exercise is just three days long but when they join the Army
0:15:07 > 0:15:09for real it could be for weeks at a time.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11There's a huge sense of achievement once they've
0:15:11 > 0:15:12completed these exercises.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14We've seen them grow already.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16It becomes easier as time goes on.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20I'm starving!
0:15:20 > 0:15:24I've had those before.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26So, you're sleeping in the woods. What's that like?
0:15:26 > 0:15:36Horrible.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48I'm scared of spiders, and there's loads of them
0:15:48 > 0:15:49and ants and insects.
0:15:49 > 0:15:49But you get used to it.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58When we go into the ring, the bell goes, what's
0:15:59 > 0:16:00the first thing we do?
0:16:00 > 0:16:02The summer term ends with college boxing night.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03And Demi Allan's dedication has paid off.
0:16:03 > 0:16:12She's been picked to fight in the only female bout of the evening.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16I blank out going to the ring but it's walking out
0:16:16 > 0:16:17that it's going to scare me.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19You've got all the duty soldiers watching.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22You've got the brigadiers, the sergeants, the officers.
0:16:22 > 0:16:32You've got a lot of people come to watch.
0:16:32 > 0:16:40After three two-minute rounds, it's a win for Demi.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42How do you feel after that fight?
0:16:42 > 0:16:49I'm knackered but I'm really glad I won it.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52It was worth all that training, getting up early in the morning.
0:16:52 > 0:16:53It's worth it.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55And what are you looking forward to the most after this?
0:16:55 > 0:16:57A shower!
0:16:57 > 0:16:59And we will be following the progress of Demi,
0:16:59 > 0:17:09Ben and Romario, to see if they graduate next year.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Now, students at the Leeds College of Music have been given an
0:17:13 > 0:17:15opportunity of a lifetime.
0:17:15 > 0:17:21To perform at one of the country's best
0:17:21 > 0:17:22venues with an '80s pop icon.
0:17:22 > 0:17:27Johnny I'Anson followed them on this amazing journey.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30We looked on ourselves very much as an underground band.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34We were a northern, electronic, underground band.
0:17:34 > 0:17:42He was one of the biggest stars of the '80s.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Before you know it, you're on TOTP and then your life changes
0:17:45 > 0:17:52completely after that.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54MUSIC: Tainted Love by Soft Cell.
0:17:54 > 0:17:5635 years on, he remains one of the country's
0:17:56 > 0:17:58biggest singing stars with an instantly recognisable voice
0:17:58 > 0:18:01and he can fill some of the most prestigious venues in the country.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04When you go out onto the stage, it's a thrill
0:18:04 > 0:18:13because you feel part of that history of walking out.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16It all started for Marc Almond and Soft Cell here in Leeds
0:18:16 > 0:18:18where he went to art college.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20And that's why he's preparing to give something back
0:18:20 > 0:18:25to the next generation of music students.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Leeds College of Music ? and a group of student musicians
0:18:28 > 0:18:34are tuning up before their first rehearsal for the most
0:18:34 > 0:18:35important gig of their lives.
0:18:35 > 0:18:43They are going to be performing with Marc Almond
0:18:43 > 0:18:46at one of the biggest concert venues in the country -
0:18:46 > 0:18:51the Royal Festival Hall in London.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53I was expecting everything to be ragged
0:18:53 > 0:18:55but it's not it's fantastic which is inspiring for me.
0:18:55 > 0:19:05It's going to be a really great show I think.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11MUSIC: "Jackie" by Jacques Brel
0:19:11 > 0:19:13And final year student Lily Kerbey who is in the choir has
0:19:13 > 0:19:17just heard that she will have a very special part to play.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20I'm doing a little duet with him.
0:19:20 > 0:19:25We're doing Haunted Heart which is a classic song which
0:19:25 > 0:19:31was done I think by Jo Stafford.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35My mum's got tickets for the London gig so she'll be able to see me.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38I was going to keep it as a surprise but I was on the phone
0:19:38 > 0:19:42to her and I was like "Oh, my gosh, I'm doing a duet with Marc Almond!"
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Obviously she knows who he is more than our generation does.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47And Marc really did become one of the voices
0:19:47 > 0:19:48of the post-punk generation.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51His big break came in the late '70s at one particular club
0:19:51 > 0:19:53in Leeds - the Warehouse.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56There was no other club like it in the north of England.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58People came from everywhere to come to the Warehouse.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02It was amazing.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04I started becoming a DJ at that point.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08I already had my foot in the door.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11So Mike the owner of the Warehouse knew I'd started this band Soft Cell
0:20:11 > 0:20:14and he could see electronic music was emerging and becoming big around
0:20:14 > 0:20:18the north of England.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21They call themselves the Young Romantics
0:20:21 > 0:20:28or the New Romantics but if you look
0:20:28 > 0:20:33at the costumes you'll see that's the understatement of the year.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Richard Madeley did his first TV interview with me
0:20:36 > 0:20:36at the Warehouse!
0:20:36 > 0:20:38It's probably there on Youtube somewhere!
0:20:38 > 0:20:40I think the whole thing is just about young
0:20:40 > 0:20:46people having a good time and enjoying themselves.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48So Non Stop Erotic Cabaret came out.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50It's massive. Were you ready for that?
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Not really!
0:20:52 > 0:20:58I was still living in a shared student place in Leeds.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02When the call came and they said you're in the top 20,
0:21:02 > 0:21:08then you're number nine, then three, then number one,
0:21:08 > 0:21:10it was just like unreality, really.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12And before you know it, you're on TOTP!
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Now, Soft Cell.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Last time I saw them, it was a fairly
0:21:16 > 0:21:17squalid gig in Leeds.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Now, they're on Top of the Pops.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22And unlike some of his contemporaries, Marc's career has
0:21:22 > 0:21:25stood the test of time.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Two years ago, Leeds College of Music offered him
0:21:27 > 0:21:32an honorary fellowship.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35It was nice of them to recognise that I'd been part of Leeds music.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Even though I wasn't born in Leeds, Leeds has always been
0:21:38 > 0:21:44like a musical home for me.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Finally the big day has arrived ?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49a beautiful sunny day to be performing at the Festival Hall.
0:21:49 > 0:21:50So how's everyone feeling?
0:21:50 > 0:21:51It's nerve-wracking walking on.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52There's wires everywhere and you're thinking,
0:21:52 > 0:21:53don't trip over.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55But as soon as you're singing or playing your
0:21:55 > 0:21:59instrument, it's fine.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01I feel so honoured - there are so many
0:22:01 > 0:22:04flute players in college and I was chosen to perform here.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08When do the nerves set in?
0:22:08 > 0:22:09About half an hour into it.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10You're not nervous yet?
0:22:10 > 0:22:18Nah!
0:22:18 > 0:22:19Somehow I don't believe him.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22So this is it then - months of hard work,
0:22:22 > 0:22:24more than one sleepless night, now it's just the small
0:22:24 > 0:22:26job of performing at the Royal Festival Hall.
0:22:26 > 0:22:34I don't know who's more nervous, me or them.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35I'm just looking through the window.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38It looks like a packed house but we knew that was the case.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Playing the Festival Hall is always daunting.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56For me ? so it will be exciting for the others.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57It's great.
0:22:57 > 0:23:07It's going to be a fanstastic show.
0:23:13 > 0:23:23# Now it begins...
0:23:27 > 0:23:30The first half seems to whizz by and soon it's time
0:23:30 > 0:23:32for Lily's duet with Marc.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Will you please say hello to Lily Kerbey who's
0:23:34 > 0:23:43going to join me for this last song.
0:23:43 > 0:23:53# There's a ghost of you in my haunted heart
0:23:55 > 0:24:03She certainly did her mum and nana proud.
0:24:04 > 0:24:05The minute I know that Mum or Dad
0:24:05 > 0:24:07is going to be in the audience,
0:24:07 > 0:24:08I'm like...
0:24:08 > 0:24:11I came and sat down in my seat and everyone was like,
0:24:11 > 0:24:13are you all right, and I said yes!
0:24:13 > 0:24:14Awesome, absolutely amazed!
0:24:14 > 0:24:15In the second half,
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Marc and the college musicians treat the audience to some
0:24:17 > 0:24:27of his biggest hits.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37And the crowd, as they say, go wild!
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Such a thrill and an honour for me to work
0:24:39 > 0:24:41on stage with such fantastic musicians, fantastic people ?
0:24:41 > 0:24:43the arrangements, the choir ? absolutely everything was wonderful.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47I couldn't have dreamt of anything more.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57That's all from here in beautiful north Yorkshire.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Make sure you join us next time.
0:25:20 > 0:25:20Good
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Good afternoon.
0:25:23 > 0:25:23Good afternoon. Not
