Take an incident last summer when, minutes before a Prom with the SCO, a cleaning cloth got jammed in his bassoon. As the concert was due to start, Whelan was three storeys beneath the Royal Albert Hall watching a team of heavies trying to yank the cloth out with a vice. "In the end I grabbed part of a colleague's instrument and ran on stage in a blind panic," he remembers. "The television cameras loved it, of course: it was a bit of fun, a silly story." It provided plenty for a famous violinist and pianist to talk about on the television programme's interval feature: they laughed about wardrobe malfunctions they'd experienced in the entertainment industry.
There is no way in hell anyone would get near my instrument with a vice! Yikes! He sounds great but I personally don't prefer the sound of the Baroque instrument. I like it. I just don't prefer it.
