A musical evening Last night I went to sce ‘Bennie’, the mi which has just opened in the Albert Theatre in London. ‘There is of course already both a film and a book called ‘Bennie’, about a child who becomes a famous singer. I enjoyed the book so I was excited when I heard about the film. Twas disappointed, however, when I finally saw it because unfortunately they managed to make all the amusing parts of the book seem. setious. It was also long and slow. I came to the musical without much hope but it was more entertaining than the film. They've had to change parts of the story but I really thought it was as good as the book, Apart from one actor whose voice isn’t as strong as the others, I thought the acting was brilliant. Although the orchestra isn’t very large, the music was perfect. I especially liked the piano and drums. Most of the parts in musicals I've seen recently have been for young actors. In several, as in ‘Bennie’, the ‘main part is for a child. I was surprised, therefore, when I realised at one point that three-quarters of the people on stage were at east 40 of over and some of them are very well known, This is a great advantage to the production. T noticed that quite a few people didn’t buy the programme. The main complaint was that it was too expensive at £4.

He has raced since he was 12 and has had both successes and disappointments in that time. His worst moment so far was during a recent World Championship. His front tyre started to lose air in the last part of the race and he finished fourth. This was not the first time he'd been unlucky. In a previous race, it was raining heavily and he crashed his bike just minutes after the start. He often gets nervous before a race but thinks that this is a good thing. ‘Nervous energy makes you go faster and on the day, is all about winning. The important thing is to stay positive? Liam likes a hard race with steep climbs. They make all the difference. You have to be really fit to get ahead? He also enjoys entering competitions at top levels as there are fewer riders in the race and this makes the start easiet."You can get into the front group more quickly: Liam has been chosen to go to the Olympic Games and one day he would like to win a ‘medal.‘I'm still quite young and expect to be riding until my mid-thirties so I've got enough time to achieve my dream. I know the ‘Olympics are hard and I'll have to produ best performance yet. But I feel confident? my Liam trains for 30 hours a week ~ always ‘outside ~ and he reaches speeds of 65 kph. He thinks that cycling professionally is the best job in the world and would recommend it to anyone. His advice to people starting to race is, Be prepared for some hard work.
