Re: Just in case anyone missed this one

This is as about as lively as it gets in rainy old London....

Music lovers listen to 2:44 to 2:56 and 3:33 to 3:38 - this is sublime orchestra.

Re: name that tune

Does anyone have a link where I can hear the whole track on the internet? This goodly sounding song seems to have missed me by in my Bachareducation.

Re: Burt to perform, debut new CD on QVC tonight

Thanks, mate. And how about the wind-down from 8.58, and the final chord at 9.30? Priceless.

Re: Burt to perform, debut new CD on QVC tonight

I bought the CD in the foyer at his recent concert in Rome. The extra disc wasn't included, unfortunately. I couldn't agree more about the impact of Alfie - listen to Burt singing "I believe in love, Alfie" and if you can keep the tears from your eyes you're of sterner stuff than me. Overa...

Re: Internet movie database

There's an interesting comment in there about Lost Horizon: "I have an old movie magazine with an interview in it from Ross Hunter. He was asked point-blank why this film was so ridiculed. He answered, "the music was no good. Bacharach and David were on the verge of ending their partnershi...

Re: Burt in Rome - 28/10/08

The "Go Ask Shakespeare" moment was indeed bizarre. I thought he said "if it doesn't feel right, don't do it". At most he played four bars of the song. I think he was making a political point, yet for some reason didn't want to pursue it. In the verbal lead in to the song, he se...

Burt in London tonight: concert review

Just got back from the Roundhouse. Here's my take on tonight's concert: BIG POSITIVES 1 just bliss to see a man at the absolute pinnacle of his career, and possibly his last trip to London 2 the standing-only downstairs gave a relaxed mid-week feel 3 he sang "The World is a Circle" - marve...

Standing Room Only

Burt's up-coming concert in London is being held at the Roundhouse, which is not a small venue, bu unusually has virtually no seating; it is standing downstairs, with a few seats on the small balcony only. I'm not sure why, but I kinda think a Burt concert is more compatible with being seated (this...

WHERE'VE THEY GONE

OK friends, on youtube there used to be 1 a B&W film of Cilla Black recording Alfie in England with an orchestra conducted by Burt, and 2 a 6-minute piano solo filmed from directly above the keyboard by someone playing a jazzed-up version of Wives & Lovers SO WHERE ARE THEY NOW? Is youtube ...

Re: Burt in London

Barry and Andrew, what worries me is I've been through all the major London venues I know and everywhere has got something on for the 21st and 22nd October - Hammersmith, Wembley Arena, Royal Festival Hall, Royal Albert Hall, Earls Court, O2, Cadogan Hall etc. are all booked. So perhaps we can expe...
