Osian gives his thoughts on the upcoming Residency

Looking at the music for the course this year, I must say I am a little nervous. I hadn't heard of any of the music except Rite of Spring but still hadn't played any of them. I'm more nervous because it's very much out of my comfort zone. But still the music does look very exiting and it will be a great experience to play something different.
The Nash Olympics!
The venues this year are, as always, brilliant venues that I can't wait to play in. I'm most exited for the P.J Hall in Bangor because I've heard some great things about the place and it's also where my mother did her music degree. I'm also looking forward to St. David's in Cardiff. It was an amazing experience last time and I loved it so much I can't wait to play there again.
The residency on Nash is brilliant. There are four different blocks: the over 18 boys, over 18 girls, under 18 boys and under 18 girls. All blocks have such a happy atmosphere where you're surrounded by friends and colleagues. The first day for me was extremely welcoming. I instantly found myself with friends. But you also get to socialise with the other blocks at the breaks and in the S.U.
