A spokesman for Leighton Buzzard Music Cloub has described the concert as one not to be missed.

Fiachra started learning the piano at the age of five but wasn’t intially looking to be a musician. He originally pursued a career as a veternarian but wanted to give music a chance as he would have been filled with regrets if he didn’t pursue the ambition.
