Market day and the stalls are alive with the sound of music

If you were at the St Albans’ Market last saturday, you may have found yourself seduced by the tunes of one of the top musicians of the West End.
This gentleman, Andrew Hubbard, dressed in a tuxedo, was playing all-time favourites like Wind Beneath My Wings near Civic Square. The stalls were truly alive with the sound of music that day!
Curiousity overcame me so I googled this talented violin-player later  and saw that he has performed with the West End orchestra on Phantom of the Opera and other musicals. Andrew has two albums out and performs on a regular basis (see www.andrewhubbard.com  for more information).
So, next time you are wandering around the market, keep your eyes and ears open because you never know who else might be around! I even met one of the Corrie stars (Natasha) outside the Maltings on the same afternoon!
