Brett, The Wine Maestro

In 2009 I was lucky to be selected to stand on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square in the heart of London as one of 2,400 participants representing every region of the UK who spent an hour alone on the empty plinth in Trafalgar Square during the 100 days and nights of the live artwork by sculptor Antony Gormley, One & Other.

It gave me the opportunity to talk about two things close to my heart: raising awareness of prostate cancer and the enjoyment of wine. I was even more excited when the Prostate UK charity suggested I wear gold pants and gold cape – just the garb to brighten up an early autumn evening up high in the heart of London…
A few years have passed since then until One and Another Beast took the stand, encouraging a selection of animals to stand on the Fourth Plinth.

Unfortunately the tragedy on the Fourth Plinth happened when the Horse replaced the Lion, who took umbrage and allowed no-one to approach the installation, not even to feed the poor beast.

This is the sad result of this unfortunate event:

At least the brave horse is still standing…
