:05:21. > :05:23.What other reason or better reason could you have than to keep

:06:33. > :06:35.We need Mark Robbins to be backed and I don't think that will happen

:06:36. > :06:39.They've shown no sign of backing any manager in recent times,

:06:40. > :06:41.so hopefully we can, as we've repeatedly asked,

:06:42. > :06:45.the club to be put up for sale and there might be an interest

:06:46. > :06:48.in there and hopefully we can get somebody come in and actually move

:06:49. > :06:52.this club in the direction that it needs to move in.

:06:53. > :06:55.Violinist Nigel Kennedy has been described as the man who brought

:06:56. > :07:00.He's also one of Aston Villa's most high profile fans and he's just

:07:06. > :07:07.he's performing a gala concert at Birmingham's Symphony

:07:08. > :07:20.Cos it's time now in my life to say thank you and just to recognise how

:07:21. > :07:25.much luck I've had in playing music and being part of it.

:07:26. > :07:27.In the world of classical music, Nigel Kennedy

:07:37. > :07:41.to Birmingham for a gala concert to celebrate his 60th birthday.

:07:42. > :07:45.It is kind of like my voyage, a large part of my voyage

:07:46. > :07:49.in music in one night, so there's quite a lot

:07:50. > :07:59.Nigel will also be performing some of his own new compositions.

:08:00. > :08:03.Like this piece called Solitude, dedicated to Yehudi Menuhin who paid

:08:04. > :08:10.It was written and inspired during Nigel's time living in Malvern.

:08:11. > :08:14.I think a lot of composers have been influenced by nature.

:08:15. > :08:18.Elgar's music is very much influenced by the Malvern Hills

:08:19. > :08:21.so I'd be trekking around the hills just in the same way that Elgar

:08:26. > :08:29.As well as music, there's one other major passion in Nigel's life...

:08:30. > :08:37.I mean it's more like lion cubs at the moment.

:08:51. > :08:53.Nigel's gala celebration concert is at the Birmingham

:08:54. > :09:07.I'll leave you with the weather from Shefali.

:09:08. > :09:21.Sunny skies and things beginning to spring back to life and plenty

:09:22. > :09:26.of dry weather on offer, although we had a few showers

:09:27. > :09:30.filtering up from the southwest towards the end of the day.

:09:31. > :09:33.But we've got more then just a little rain on the cards

:09:34. > :09:37.This is how it's shaping up over the coming days.

:09:38. > :09:40.More unsettled from tomorrow night, but also milder from Wednesday

:09:41. > :09:57.A few showers dotted about the region. The countryside and

:09:58. > :10:01.sheltered spots getting a touch of frost but generally speaking

:10:02. > :10:06.temperatures falling to a minimum of 5-7. Quite a mild night and I'll

:10:07. > :10:11.start to tomorrow. Lots of sunshine tomorrow right through the day. We

:10:12. > :10:15.will see a bit of cloud drifting in, high cloud, from the south-west,

:10:16. > :10:20.turning the sunshine milk year through the afternoon however it

:10:21. > :10:25.stays dry with top temperatures of 9-10. Tomorrow evening, we noticed

:10:26. > :10:29.the changes occurring. Figure cloud ringing in this band of fairly heavy

:10:30. > :10:36.rain, quite persistent at times. Mist and Merck developing in the

:10:37. > :10:40.morning of Wednesday. Wednesday is a mild start to the day and

:10:41. > :10:43.temperatures will eventually rise to about 14 Celsius across the

:10:44. > :10:48.south-west of the region and any early rain moves to the East. --

:10:49. > :10:55.mist and murk. Dryer enter the day with a moderate temperature. Further

:10:56. > :10:58.ahead, frontal systems pushing in from the south-west ringing more

:10:59. > :11:01.unsettled weather conditions. I cool, it will be windy at times as

:11:02. > :11:04.well and still rather unsettled with some blustery showers around. That's

:11:05. > :11:05.the London forecast and
