COLIN HOLMES MAGIC OF THE MUSICALS FEATURING 'MARY POPPIN RETURNS' . DECEMBER 16TH 2018.


MARY POPPIN RETURNS...WALT DISNEY RECORDS.

Tracks played....
Lovely London sky /  Can you imagine that / The royal dalton music hall /  The place
where lost things go / Trip a little light fantastic / Nowhere to go but up.

The new Mary Poppins film music seems a little deja vu , reminding me of the old
Mary Poppins   with secondry songs. There is one nice ballad but it all feels like a bit
of a retread of the previous success. I havn't seen the film and perhaps that would
change things. *******.

COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW FEATURING 'DIONNE WARWICK' AND JOHNNY MATHIS. OCTOBER 16TH 2018.


DIONNE WARWICK...ORIGINAL ALBUM SERIES...RHINO.

Tracks played...Anyone who had a heart / Don't make me over / Wishin' and hopin' /
Make the music play / You'll never get to heaven / I say a little prayer / Theme from
Valley of the dolls / Do you know the way to San Jose / Heartbreaker / Reach out
for me.

A very concise 4 album collection of Dionne's early hits plus many extras. "Heartbreaker"
is missing from the set and that was via Tudno's playlist. Extraordinary quality singer
sometimes soul, sometimes excellent commercial singing but always extremely
listenable and the Bacharach backings are a great asset.*********.

JOHNNY MATHIS SINGS THE GREAT AMERICAN NEW SONGBOOK...COLUMBIA
SONY MUSIC.

Tracks played...I believe I can fly / Happy / Run to you.

American choice of the best music around is not as good as it should be. Very similar
sounding music with a lot of power ballads. "Happy" changes the mood and it is
a welcome relief.....however Mathis's voice is in good form often with a backing choir
to add some vocal power and remembering how old Mr Mathis is I can't complain
but I can see why this album has not been publicised  in the usual way.  Mathis
fans need not worry.*******.

JOSH GROBAN...BRIDGES. REPRISE. ( DE-LUX VERSION)

Tracks played....
Symphony / We will meet once again / More of you / 99 years / Everything you needed.

Following his ' STAGES' album now we have Bridges. Accomplished and, as always
interesting choices of songs most of them new and most of them self-penned with
others. He has four partner singers amongst the choices but Andrea Bocelli is the
easy standout.  I did not find the album compelling enough for my ear but for
devout fans I know it will be bought immediately.********.

COLIN HOLMES MAGIC OF THE MUSICALS FEATURING 40 YEARS OF LLANDUDNO YOUTH MUSICAL THEATRE.


LLANDUDNO YOUTH MUSICAL THEATRE.

Philip and Margaret Jones joined me on Sunday talking about LYMT in Llandudno. They
started the society for young people and now after 40 years it is as strong as ever with
many youngsters benefitting from the experience  having  gone on to a professional
acting career.  There are two societies...Stage Notes for the younger ones and LYMT
for the older ones. To join, the website is lymt.co.uk.

BARNUM.

To celebrate the fortieth year they put on Barnum at Venue Cymru a few weeks ago.
A very impressive production with a well rehearsed ensemble and very competent
performances from the leading players....I have to mention Joshua Davies who played
P.T.Barnum and belied his young age to me and gave an outstanding performance in
a part that requires professionalism in acting and performance. After 40 years a landmark
show and next year OKLAHOMA  at Venue Cymru July 2019.

COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW FEATURING BRIAN HYLAND. 15TH AUGUST 2018.


BRIAN HYLAND. GREATEST HITS... MCA 1994.
tracks played....

Itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini /  Let me belong to you
Ginny come lately / Sealed with a kiss / Warmed over kisses / Stay and
love me all summer / Could you dig it / Gypsy woman.

Without "Sealed with a kiss" and "Ginny come lately" this would probably be
a very disappointing album of hits. Take these two big hits away and you are
only left with "Bikini" as a genuine hit.  A plaintiff young male voice was
entirely suitable for teenage angst love songs but the quality of most other
tracks is not up to the mark. ******.

COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW FEATURING BOBBY VEE...JULY 29TH 2018.


THE SINGLES COLLECTION...BOBBY VEE.     LIBERTY / EMI.
Tracks played....

Suzie baby / What do you want / Devil or angel / Rubber ball / everyday / Stayin'in.
More than I can say / How many tears / Take good care of my baby / Run to him.
Walkin' with my angel / Please don't ask about Barbara / The night has a thousand
eyes / Anonymous phone call / My girl--Hey girl.

About ten years of EVERY single that Bobby Vee produced for Capitol/EMI in the
sixties. It makes for too much sameness in sound occasionally interrupted with
something completely unusual. Vee's voice was very "Buddy Holly" and he was
directed to copy him by his producer Snuff Garrett.....however by CD 3 in the
collection he was reverting to his real voice and although he managed a hit in
America at the end of the sixties with MY GIRL/HEY GIRL he completely
disappeared from the charts and now performs in Sixties revival touring shows.

I'll never find another you / Last night was made for love / Once upon a dream.
Like I've never been gone / When will you say I love you / In summer.
In thoughts of you / Run to my loving arms.

It has all the hits of Billy Fury certainly, but put altogether it is all a little
dreary....that is not to say the Fury was not a distinctive singer, it's just
the material was a little lacking in the minds of the producers. " Halfway
to Paradise" and Jealousy " are standouts commercially and had excellant
and exciting arrangements....the rest....a little sixties deja vu.*******.

COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW FEATURING 'BOBBY RYDELL'. JULY 10TH 2018.


THE BEST OF BOBBY RYDELL....ABKCO MUSIC  ( CAMEO PARKWAY)
Tracks played....

Please don't be mad / All I want is you / We got love / Kissin' time / Wild one.
Swingin' school / Volare / Sway / That old black magic / Good time baby.
I'll never dance again / The cha cha cha / Forget him.

Bobby Rydell "s career in music was shortened, like all others, by the emergence
of the Beatles and subsequent Liverpool groups covering the charts in all countries
with the Liverpool sound.   A tuneful singer whose initial "Kissin' time" was a rock
'n roll Masterpiece for every dancefloor. He had to revive old Dean Martin hits
with a latin rock beat to introduce a new sound and then travel to London to record
"Forget him" written and produced by Tony Hatch to lengthen his recording hits.
He then retired to Television and touring sixties shows. 25 of his releases are
recorded here all sounding like the early sixties but well sung and clearly recorded.********.

Travellin' man / Hello Mary Lou / Poor little fool / Lonesome town / Believe
what you say / I'm walkin' / Fools rush in / It's late / Never be anyone else but you
It's up to you / Young world / Garden party.

Every American and British hit from this young crooner/rocker who was never out of the charts
for four years. The emergence of the Beatles,etc, made a dent in his popularity and his recording
career slid until the early seventies when he re-emerged as Rick Nelson with early success
in a more country sound.  He was a good looking young man and popular with female teenage
audiences who loved the gentle crooning approach to ,both his up-tempo releases , and his
quiet ballads. Unfortunately his career was cut short by his untimely death in 1985.

Tracks played....
Fascination / Till / With open arms / My hear reminds me / If only I could live

A classic ballad singer of the fifties with French connections. Superb voice which enabled
her to give songs that extra push to the big sellers of records in the fifties and sixties. The
orchestral backings on these records vary, but the singing...always professional. The greatest
Hits album has only eleven tracks but is a quality CD. The Fascination album has 56 tracks
but is of inferior quality to the other album. ********.
