James Whitehead (violoncello)
Norman Tucker (pianoforte)

Although James Whitehead's first appearance was as a singer (at the age of four he sang at a concert for wounded soldiers), he became, like his father and grandfather before him, a cellist. He was a member of the London Symphony Orchestra and of the New English Trio, and has played as principal cellist in the orchestra at Glyndebourne.
Norman Tucker won the Dannreuther Prize at the Royal College of Music, and played the Brahms B flat concerto with Sir Thomas Beecham conducting. He has appeared at the Three Choirs Festival and at the Winchester Festival, and has played concertos all over the country.
