Some inspiration from Britain's Got Talent 2009.


I thought I'd post this video from the final of "Britain's Got Talent" which I found inspiring and encouraging too.
Talent shows are a great way to get exposure, learn a little of how the entertainment industry works and to get some critique.
This musician (Julian Smith) made it to 3rd place in the finals - not bad considering the other contestants were in different fields (dance and vocalist).
His playing was excellent and there was feeling in his performance.
Well Done Julian.
