COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW FEATURING SINATRA " COME SWING WITH ME" DECEMBER 27TH 2016.

COME SWING WITH ME....REPRISE. FRANK SINATRA. BILLY MAY.

Tracks played.....
The curse of an aching heart / Love walked in / please don't talk about me when I'm gone /
Don't be that way /  I never knew / Moonlight on the Ganges / Granada / Everybody's twistin'.

Available online and at record shops as most of Sinatra's output still sells......This swinging album
is not one of his best, but certainly lively enough to enjoy. His voice seems sharper on this
set than on his Capitol output and was quickly recorded while he was still at Capitol records.
It was the sixties and I assume he wanted more drive to his music. After the Beatles,then the Rolling
Stones,etc he changed tack and eventually "Stranger's in the Night " did it for him. Everything after
that made him look towards the charts. Still a good album.****.

COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW FEATURING PENTATONIX & GEORGE SHEARING. DECEMBER 20 TH 2016.

PENTATONIX NEW CHRISTMAS ALBUM....DOWNLOAD.

Tracks played...
Oh come all ye faithful / White Christmas / Up on the rooftop / The christmas sing-a long / Coldest winter.

An outstanding acapella album from a very talented vocal group.  Hardly any  orchestra...just vocals
and vocal gymnastics....make for a very pleasing seasonal album....just like their first Christmas album I have no problem in awarding 5 stars  *****.

GEORGE SHEARING...EIGHT CLASSIC ALBUMS... REAL GONE JAZZ
tracks played.....

Have you met Miss Jones / The moon was yellow / Memories of you / Lullaby of Birdland.

Perhaps 100 tracks from an easy listening source can be a little hard to take, but George Shearing is
no boring pianist. With Jazz and latin and african orchestrations it provides a mellow background
on your car CD and an interesting background to an informal party. Good value.****.

COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW FEATURING MICHAEL BALL & ALFIE BOE, PENTATONIX, THE OVERTONES. NOVEMBER 8TH 2016.

TOGETHER...MICHAEL BALL & ALFIE BOE....DECCA RECORDS.
Tracks played.....

Les Miserables suite / Music of the night / Anthem / For once in my life / A thousand years / You'll never walk alone.

This is an outstanding performance from two outstanding singers. A perfect blending of singers,
songs and orchestration. The Les Miserables opening is breathtaking. Turn the volume up and sit
back. Super.!! *****.

PENTATONIX.....THAT'S CHRISTMAS TO ME...SONY MUSIC..RCA.

Tracks played....
Hark the herald angels sing / White winter Hymnal / That's Christmas to me  / Dance of the sugar plum fairy / It's the most wonderful time of the year / Let it go.

Another superb album, probably the best buy this Christmas. New and old seasonal songs with a great festive feel and a sense of humour. The harmonising is to die for.!  Good value.*****.

GOOD OL' FASHIONED CHRISTMAS....THE OVERTONES...WARNER VECTOR.

Tracks played....

White Christmas / Let it snow / Have yourself a merry little Christmas / This Christmas / Winter wonderland.

The Overtones are the best selling male group this year. This is last year's release but , somehow,
this album is a little unexciting. No new stuff here but a good party record.***.

COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW FEATURING "MICHAEL BUBLE..NOBODY BUT ME" OCTOBER 25TH 2016.

MICHAEL BUBLE...NOBODY BUT ME..REPRISE.

Tracks played...
My kind of girl / Today is yesterday's tomorrow / The very thought of you / I wanna be around / Someday ( With Meghan Trainor) / My baby just cares for me / This love of mine / Nobody but me ( Trumpet version ) / Take you away / God only knows.

Always a pleasure to hear a new Buble release ( It's been a year and a half) and this one does not disappoint . Some modern tracks along with his take on some old standards is the usual fare, but it's
the old standards that stand out. The new single " Nobody but me" is trendy in an old fashioned way
and " Take you away" and "Someday" are up-to-date  and danceable but not memorable. Who cares ?
It's still Buble singing beautifully.****.

COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW FEATURING JOHNNY MATHIS. AUGUST 30TH 2016

THE VERY BEST OF JOHNNY MATHIS...COLUMBIA SONY MUSIC.

Tracks played....
Someone / Wild is the wind / No love ( but your love ) / The story of our love / Wasn't the summer short / Starbright / I.m coming home.

A distinguished line-up of all of Mathis's hits plus some beautifully sung ballads make this album
a must if you appreciate the warm tones of this seasoned performer.  I have to admit that ballad after
ballad becomes a little too much and a little variance in tempos would have helped this collection
a lot. Nonetheless it's great value and great singing.****

Tracks played....
The moon was yellow / How high the moon / Cuban love song / I should care / Body and soul / They all laughed / The way you look tonight /  The piccolino / Lulu's back in town.

Perfect singer..into Jazz ...into straight ballads, in fact into almost anything. The difference with Mel Torme is...he does it all better than anybody else.   These albums are sheer perfection and a better reading of a lot of the standards attempted here,  you will not find better anywhere.

PATTI PAGE. THE COMPLETE U.S. HITS 1948-62....ACROBAT MUSIC..(3CDS)
Tracks played.....
I don't care if the sun don't shine / All my love / The Tennessee Waltz / Would I love you / Mocking bird hill / Detour / And so to sleep again / Once in a while / I went to your wedding /  You belong to me.

Without a doubt the most exhaustive collection of Patti Page hits including every record that entered the top hundred charts....86 in all. The varying quality is extremely interesting  as well as very satisfying as Miss Page's voice holds up to every kind of song no matter what genre. She can master impressive ballads,novelty songs and country and western songs with professional aplomb. Not the complete Patti Page because she also released many high quality albums, but certainly this is perfect nostalgia for those who remember her many hits.****.

JONI JAMES...THIS IS JONI JAMES ON VOCAL CLASSICS.
Tracks played....
Why don't you believe me / Have you heard / This is my confession / There goes my heart,

An album from MGM diva Joni James seems a little repetative at times but with a full vocal  and
enterprising orchestra backing some of her songs are quite compelling, especially " There goes my heart". This 21 tracks album ( if you can get hold of it) covers most of her hits.***.

COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW RETURNS ON 12TH APRIL 2016 AFTER A TWO WEEK ABSENCE.

COLIN HOLMES STILL ILL AFTER PROMISES OF RETURNING THIS WEEK. EASY LISTENING SHOW.

Still lacking energy and still coughing Colin Holmes was unable to return to broadcasting on Tudno fm this week.,,,,but a definate return expected next week. His one appearance on Monday did nothing
to alleviate his illness.

REAL FLU STRIKES COLIN HOLMES.

How easy it is to never be ill..... something that has never bothered me over the last eight years of
broadcasting on Tudno fm.  Two weeks ago I was suddenly taken to my bed because I could hardly stand up with a virilent flu something which I never wish to see again. The last week I have been recuperating but still unable to speak properly or indeed stay awake for  very long. You could say age is responsible, but today, finally I feel better and expect to return to normal on Monday with TUDNO TALKS at 10 in the morning. After that I expect to be back to normal covering my usual programmes.
