Hello V1.5

Dedicating an album to the dark side of the Lied might seem inappropriate in these times of Covid, climate change and refugee crises, but as a mezzo-soprano Olivia has always been drawn to the darker roles in opera, the sad arias in oratorio and the deep laments in song. After our recent recording ('Dirty Minds'), which focused on 'la petite mort', it seemed a natural progression to turn our attention to 'la grande mort'! Darkness in the outside world and the inner self has always been - alongside Love - one of the chief themes of vocal music, and compositions and songs about death are legion during every period of musical history.

4 Cd Quality 80-track anthology of the great vocal group's singles incl Just For A Thrill, My Prayer, That's When Your Heartaches Begin, Stranger In Paradise and more.

A stylistic, and modern take on the popular art rock of the 70's. Huge, lush arrangements with unforgettable hooks, and powerfully dynamic changes. Listeners hear references to ELO, Queen, Pink Floyd; along with Oasis, The Devlins, World Party, and Travis.

An intimate glimpse into the life of Leslie Phillips, the legendary actor, writer and veritable British institution. Leslie invites the audience into his home for a frank and open conversation about his career, his family background and his beloved late wife. The informal yet revealing chat is interwoven with personal insights from some of the greats who have worked with him. From his first professional appearance at the newly built Pinewood - both the studios and Leslie having recently celebrated their 75th anniversary in the industry - up to the international phenomenon of Harry Potter, this heartfelt documentary shows how he gained not only an ardent film and television fan base, but also the love of his 'Twittersnappers', the affectionate moniker for his legion of online followers.

Following up his surprise hit debut on acoustic guitar, Alone/But Never Alone, Carlton offers a collection of easygoing, laid-back, Wave-oriented smooth jazz that slowly reveals hints of the full range of his capabilities. At first, it sounds as if the guitarist would be merely killing time here, but starting with the funky "Knock on Wood," things get progressively more interesting as Carlton seems to find his funky bearings. "Discovery" is actually quite nice with its cushiony vamp; "My Home Away From Home" finds Carlton flashing his acoustic chops quite effectively; the shuffling "Minute By Minute" garnered a lot of airplay.
