MICHEAL HOLLIDAY & MARINA LASLO ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW. AUGUST 20TH.

MARINA LASLO....CLASSIC REVOLUTION. MLM.

Tracks played....Ave Maria / Caruso / Moon river / Pavan ( Faure)

Interesting 14 tracks of beautiful singing of some classics and some well known songs.
Sympathetic modern backings stay mainly in the background allowing Miss Laslo's
voice to take centre stage. A little strident in places where I thought the balance was
not quite on the money, but otherwise a creative restful performance.***.

MICHAEL HOLLIDAY...ANTHOLOGY(3cdS) EMI.

Tracks played....Dearest / Drums / Gone Fishin' / Skylark /Home Cooking.

All Michael Holliday's hits + excerpts from his albums with a few children's songs and
adverts thrown in.  86 tracks in all . Now that's value for money. His Crosby voice is
entertaining to hear and for Michael Holliday's fans you can not to better.
