Hi
there!
Just back from Dublin - had an excellent time singing
with the RTE Concert Orchestra, conductor Ben Pope and fellow singer
Gary Williams. The concert was a celebration of the
music of lunar-landing year, 1969 (yeah man!), and talk about
varied.. For my first set
I started with Ennio
Morricone's 'Once upon a time in the West' - gorgeous to sing with
full orchestra - then headed to the piano to play and sing
a couple of Roger Whittaker tunes by myself, and finally
moved to the front of the stage to sing 'People will say we're
in love',
with Gary!
Later on I sang the Michel Legrand
song 'What are you doing the rest of your
life?'
The version the orchestra had was in a
MUCH higher key than my usual one, and I was wondering how that
would go, but it turned out to be the song I most enjoyed doing
that night! (Oh, and if you'd like to hear me sing that
number, how about ordering my CD, gentle
rain ?)
It was wonderful
to meet some of the audience afterwards when I was signing CDs -
thanks for coming to say hello, and.. HAPPY
LISTENING!
