A showbiz element has always been a feature of the Norwood dinner and Andrew Lloyd Webber and Simon Cowell headed a stellar cast.
The composer — who was interviewed about his career—saw the irony in Norwood inviting a “Tory peer to be the warm-up act for the leader of the Labour Party”.
Myleene Klass posed the questions, having informed the audience: “According to the Jewish Chronicle, I’m six per cent Jewish — you’re in safe hands.”
Lloyd Webber spoke about the importance of arts, also offering the London Palladium or the Theatre Royal Drury Lane as a venue for “awards about [young] people who embrace trades…not necessarily about people who go to university”.
