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.****.

Acceptable MONO recordings of genuine records from 1953. From a nostalgic point of view these
