![An unexpected guest... the return! | Evelyn and Sandi Toksvig
Our unexpected visitor came back for more! This time, requesting a ‘jolly party’ sound, and leaving with the perfect instrument*…
@TheQIElves #QI #SandiToksvig #EvelynGlennie #TheEvelynGlennieCollection
Video description: the clip opens with Evelyn still cleaning her Marimba, as Sandi returns. Behind Evelyn, we can see a huge number of percussion instruments of all shapes, sizes and materials, and in front of her on a table rests an antique piano and a Richard Waters Waterphone.
Their discussion, included as embedded captions, goes as follows:
[Evelyn is still cleaning the Marimba]
Sandi: Hi Evelyn. I, look, I know I didn’t buy the Marimba.
Evelyn: No.
S: The thing is I was thinking of something with a bit more of a party sound. Have you got something?
E: Oh, ok. Yep, I’ve got the ideal instrument.
[Evelyn bows the Waterphone]
S: (nodding, smiling, and reaching out to pause Evelyn) Perfect!
E: Oh, fantastic!
S: Thanks so much. I’ll leave the fiver downstairs.
[Sandi leaves holding the Waterphone and bass bow]
E: (exclaiming incredulously and with amusement) Fiver?!

Video description: Evelyn is reading Listen: How Evelyn Glennie, A Deaf Girl, Changed Percussion, looking between the book and us, the audience, as she reads to us in an expressive, animated fashion. Behind her are some blue shelves with an array of percussion instruments.
In this clip she reads the following passage:
They welcomed her into the [Royal] Academy [of Music], and after that, every music school in Great Britain changed its rules. Everyone agreed - no-one should be turned away simply because of a disability.
