Yeah, I know, I should have realised that it was madness to enter him for an exam this term.
If anyone is able to help out by accomodating a Grade 5 violin within a visit for which they've got a date, I'd be eternally grateful! He lives in Warrington and I'm Altrincham (I'll be accompanying him), so anything around north Cheshire or Merseyside could also be helpful. Please PM me!
