Show 66- Tuesday 4th October

No live recordings this week, well I have but they are the same as last week and the week before (South Devon Choir) so I thought it may be getting monotonous - with time being difficult to find at the moment I decided to play Verdi's Requiem - it's a lovely peice of music and one we have not touched on in the local scene yet so it should make for a change, even though it's not in the spirit of my show as it is done by a professional choir and orchestra on a CD I bought -  I haven't heard it myself for a long time so am looking forward to hearing it too, not sure what I'll feature from it yet, will work it out as I go and hope it fits in the time I get.

Cheers

John

Show 65- Tuesday 27th September

This week are still with South Devon Choir but have a couple of Harvest songs being reheased by St. Paul's
Choir in Paignton.  Only 5 turn up with no sopranos, so a different sound balance than we are used to.
