Ben Andrews, Percussionist

I entered the competition in 2008 not knowing what to expect. Little did I know that I would get to the finals and then be awarded £500 for "promising percussion skills". All of the finalists were very talented and I got on extremely well with all of them. I felt at home and everyone in the committee was kind and helpful. I entered again this year and won £1,000. I highly recommend entering the Music at Beaulieu Award; you won't find any competition as generous throughout the New Forest or Hampshire. It has helped many wonderful musicians get to where they need to be, and I proudly consider myself one. Looking forward to seeing you at this years Award Concert!!!!
