Once again, it was a brilliant afternoon at the Dome celebrating the New Year concert with the superb Brighton Philharmonic Orchestra, whose conductor is real fun.

The audience didn't need encouragement to participate in striking polkas by, of course, Johann Strauss.

Add to this a beautiful young soprano, BiBi Heal, who captured the hearts of the audience.

A really good time was had by all.
