A TROON musician looks set to wow audiences at the Albert Hall and across the country as he hits our TV screens again - at just 17-years-old.

Talented and hardworking Michael Foyle has already appeared on television when he became a finalist of the BBC"s Young Musician of the Year competition, aged 16.

The teenager is equally skilled in both the piano and violin and will be taking the spotlight as he performs live on BBC2 as leader of the world-famous 160-strong National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain in the Albert Hall.

The concerts will be the highlight of an amazing year for Michael who is the first Scot to lead the prestigious NYO in seven years.

Speaking about the upcoming show the Wellington School pupil said: 'I am greatly looking forward to the NYO Prom. Leading this wonderful orchestra in the Royal Albert Hall, as well as live on the BBC, is sure to be an amazing experience."
