THE magnificent setting of Castle Howard hosted yet another rousing and lively proms performance from talented musicians and singers alike.

However Chris Greenwood, in his summing up of last Saturday evening's entertainment (Proms are king of the castle, August 21), omitted to mention what is perhaps the best talent to come out of Sweden since the Volvo car!

The pianist Robert Wells was a marvellous complement to the evening's proceedings, stirring the audience to fever pitch with his lively combination of boogie-woogie, classics and jazz.

Such talent should not go unnoticed and I for one shall be heading off to the Grand Opera House, York, when Mr Wells is next in town.

Jane Smith, Navigation Road, York.


Editor's note: Robert Wells will be performing at the Grand Opera House, York, on October 6 from 7.30pm. His full touring schedule can be found at www.robertwellsuk.com and not as stated on last night's letters page. We apologise for any confusion.
