Jill would particularly like to thank HRH The Prince of Wales for kindly allowing NYB to create a ballet inspired by his book The Old Man of Lochnagar, and for introducing composer Nigel Hess, who has produced a magnificent ballet score. Thank you also Matthew Bourne for so kindly mentoring Drew McOnie this season and visiting NYB in rehearsal.

Huge appreciation too to Robin and Jayne Cadbury for their generous sponsorship of the music for the ballet and for their ongoing interest and support.
