With the horrific cutbacks in cultural opportunities for youngsters in the past few years, please consider making a donation. In a world increasingly dominated by division and no sense of values other than monetary value (through no fault of their own), it really can change young people's lives...

Spot on. And of all those finals, how many did he win? Eh? EH?
