This occasion is steeped in tradition, which is very jealously guarded by the enthusiastic Promenaders. But this year sees two 'firsts'. Although Colin Davis stepped in for Sir Malcolm Sargent last year, this is his first official 'Last Night.' And South African - born contralto Sybil Michelow makes her 'Last Night' debut as the soloist in 'Rule, Britannia.'
