I never had more info about musicians who supported Vanessa on her STC tour, but I just found some info about the pianist -
""Neil Angilley is a fine pianist, equally at home playing Jazz, Latin or Classical. He has worked with the acid jazz percussionist Snowboy, is currently pianist for violin virtuoso Vanessa Mae, and also manages to be keyboardist and arranger for Jazz chart topping band “Down to the Bone”, as well as performing regularly with his own trio and quartet! His playing is a powerful mix of Latin and Jazz influences, and he probably has one of the most impressive techniques of any of the pianists who work at the Club. A storming gig.""

The 'Tour For Change' brochure doesn't offer a list of the names of the musicians that accompany our Vanessa-Mae during this tour of concerts. This is in cocntrast with all the other 3 tour brochures that do provide such a listing.
The 'Original Four Seasons' brochure gives besides the names, also some limited infiormation on the careers of the musicians. This chamber orchestra 'The Laureates' is of course a special ensemble of only contest prize winning instrumentalists.
The fact that the Laureates consists of only prize winning musicians is somehow ackward, since our Vanessa-Mae, as the performing soloist, was the only person there without such an award for a classical musician as instrumentalist.
Of course Vanessa-Mae has never sought such an award, because she never participated in such a contest. Probably she had so much self confidence that she would succeed in the music world anyway, with or without a prize in a contest.
