I’m very disappointed that our shows in Ukraine have been cancelled although I understand why. A few years ago we were meant to play a free concert in Kiev and it was cancelled by the government because it was planned to happen at election time. And we’ve had several discussions about performing “Battleship Potemkin” in Odessa (where it was filmed) which haven’t worked out. I hope we finally make it there next year. Neil x
The lyrics of “The performance of my life”, sung by Shirley Bassey on her new album released today, can now be read in the LYRICS section of this site.
Promo copies of the new version of “All over the world” have been serviced to radio stations this week as the lead track from the forthcoming Christmas EP. Chris Evans played it on his BBC Radio 2 Drivetime show yesterday and you can listen to it at the link below (after about 1:28 minutes). Promos of “It doesn’t often snow at Christmas” will go to radio on December 7th.
We recorded a 2‑hour show with Dave Pearce today. It’ll be broadcast on December 20 on BBC Radio 6.
