Simon said: "The whole experience has been brilliant. Olly has worked so hard. We are massively proud of the hours of practice and love he puts into his guitar playing.
"We never have to ask Olly to practice, he just loves to play and I think people appreciate how hard it is to play the way he does at his age. In the last few weeks he has been practicing for a minimum for two to three hours a day.
