Zoe in Daily Mail/GMTV

[gerrit]

Yet more news about Zoë:

She is featured in tomorrow's (Thursday's) Daily Mail. If this is so, I wish someone could supply me with scans ....

If it were to be Friday's Daily Mail, I would purchase my own copy, as I am in the UK on that date (and will be until next Tuesday - I will be in the Cardiff-Newport area).

And ... Zoë will be on GMTV next week Wednesday (21 November). So there is some real marketing taking place in connection with Zoë's new album.

Again (dare I ask) if anyone could keep an eye out for the GMTV broadcast .... You may be doing double work in that case (because I have multiple contacts), but I really want to assist in giving Zoë as wide a publicity as I can muster ....

Hi Gerrit

About Zoe

My mother has the Daily Mail delivered each day. I will not be able to scan any article until tomorrow, if that's too late or someone else can do it before then let me know.

Hi Tony,

It wouldn't be too late - but I wouldn't be able to act on any scan until next week Wednesday, as early tomorrow morning I am off to do some Welsh Wandering, visiting another of my favourite singers and her parents (Holly).

Hi Gerrit

I read The Daily Mail yesterday (Thursday 15-11-07) and could not find an article about Zoe. However I did a search of The Mail Online and now know which article you are referring to www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/femail/article.html?in_article_id=494106&in_page_id=1879 . I will scan the article from the paper and provide you with a link.

Hi Gerritt

I have now done the scans for you from The Daily Mail. I have sent you a PM with the links.

Hi Tony,

I have just added a page to Zoe-Mace-International with your scans and the full article!

Meanwhile, news is coming in fast.

Apparently there was an article in the Evening Standard (London newspaper) on Monday 19th (which I have not been able to locate).

Zoë will appear with Rose Monckton on GMTV, Thursday, 22 November 8:10 am (not Wednesday 21 November, as previously published).

On Thursday evening, she will be singing at Esther Ranson's House in Hampstead who is hosting a celebration evening of Childline's 21st Birthday.

Also on Thursday, Zoë will be featured in the Oxford Mail.

The Sunday Express (25 November) will feature the story of Zoë's signing session at HMV Oxford on Friday.

Zoë will be featured in the December issue of Yours Magazine.

Hi Gerrit,


'Great to see that Zoe's new CD is being so well promoted.

Mine is in the post and, hopefully, will arrive tomorrow.


'Just looked online and found the 'Evening Standard' site:

standardonline.newspaperdirect.com/epaper/viewer.aspx

It has a 28 day archive AND you can get a 5-day trial subscription.


'Hope that helps.

Hi Paddy,

Thanks for the link - I joined the 5-day trial subscription, but in searching the archives, I got no result ....

Cheers,

Gerrit

Hi Gerrit,

I didn't find it either.

Probably not posted yet.

I expect it will be there, though.

It's only 2 days since 19th.

Worth checking in a day or two maybe.

Hello Gerrit and everyone,

I did record the interview on GMTV with Zoe and Rose Monckton, in support of charities for children with Downs Syndrome. The interview was very interesting and although Zoe didn't sing live, they did show a very short clip from her "Tears in Heaven" promo video.

I have to say, I was very impressed with Zoe's manner and coolness "under interview", she made all her points very well and seems to be a media "natural". Well done to her.

It has also kick started the album, Once Upon A Time , which is out this week. A couple of days ago it was nowhere in the Amazon rankings but currently, it has shot up to no. 153 overall and no. 8 in the Amazon classical rankings. I have listened to the album samples at 7digital.com and it sounds like a nice album. I fully expect to see it in the top 200 of the pop album chart on Sunday and, if it qualifies as classical, in the top 10 of the classical chart. I already have both of Zoe's previous albums and I will be purchasing this one too.

I have uploaded a clip of Zoe's contribution to the GMTV interview, and while I have left out the accompanying film report and much of Rose's interview, I left in more than enough to convey the main purpose of the interview - the support of the Downs Syndrome charities.

I haven't checked to see if this is available anywhere else but if not, Gerrit, you are welcome to grab it and use it as you wish.

Cheers, Dave

Hello Dave,

Thanks very much for posting Zoe's interview on GMTV. She is very cool in the spotlight, as we have seen in the interview for Thames Valley Tonight.

My large order from amazon.co.uk which includes 'Unce Upon a Time' has been shipped. I have a feeling that the CD will do quite well.

Cheers,
Joe

Thanks for that Dave,

This is the first time I have seen Zoe sing, and I must say I was quite impressed, I will get the album and see what the other tracks are like.

Cheers

Hi All,
Thanks Dave for posting the vid
it is an excellant interview and clip of the song i was very impressed.

Belinda

Hi Dave,

Many thanks for the clip - I will be getting the full interview with Rose and Zoë from a different source - but it is certainly a good idea to have a separate video which concentrates on Zoë.

I have downloaded your video and will put it up at Zoe-Mace-International, once I have received the full video.

I hope "Once Upon A Time" does qualify for the Classical Charts, but quite possibly it is just one track short of the criteria for inclusion.

Meanwhile, the charity single track "Tears in Heaven" (all proceeds to Downside Up), taken from the CD, is currently (23 November) the number 1 download on the iTunes UK Easy Listening chart !

And you can watch the full promotional video at This Is Oxford.

I have saved this video stream, just in case it gets taken off the web at some stage.
