I'm going to start with Love you till Tuesday (1966) and Bowie at the BEEB 1968 - 1972 and I'll just keep going till I play all his albums that I have. it may take some time. |

I never met him myself but my aunt did when he stayed at a hotel she was working at in Brighton. I always remember her telling me he was "a nice quiet boy." I think his "hangers-on" as she put it were a bit louder ! Personally I loved his hair as we shared the same colour, well almost ! He was certainly the most unique, innovative and versatile performer. We will not see his like again. On my twitter page a posted his recording of "Young Americans", an impossibly fast, complex song which I don't think anyone else could have sung ! Even the classical station Radio 3 had a tribute to him when they played his recording of Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf" in which he was the narrator with the Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Eugene Ormandy. Not many people knew he'd done that. It was certainly a pleasant surprise to me ! (SORRY ! OFF TOPIC BUT IT'S NOT EVERYDAY WE LOSE A LEGEND!). |

I know Lucy is happy to have 6 months work but personally I'd rather have an album from her, but that's a feeling I have with several singers at the moment !  |

The tour has reached Northampton and everyone is having a great time ! (I didn't realise Joe is the only person to win 3 reality shows: X Factor, Pop star to Opera star and The Jump.)

When Lucy's singing teacher Pamela Cook sadly passed away in 2014 the girls of the choir she founded held a memorial concert and from it here's an appropriate song for someone who inspired so many young singers. (You can see Lucy on the left by the piano.)

https://www.instagram.com/p/BHmMs-bDIME So after 6 months the "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat" tour came to an end at the Mayflower Theatre, Southampton. It was a very entertaining show which had us all on our feet and clapping along at the end ! I have no photos of the show I'm afraid. The theatre staff were ruthlessly efficient. I think they must have been trained in North Korea ! I was even reprimanded for having the audacity to rest my jacket on the balcony rail. Well it was a humid, stifling evening, a situation not helped by the fact that some theatre-goers took their shoes off !  Once outside however I met Lucy and as usual got a big hug, kiss and a chat. Now that's what I call good customer service !  It seems word has got round about it too since a couple of old blokes in the queue admitted to me that they hadn't even been to the show !  I didn't grass them up to Lucy. There is honour among stage-door loiterers !  Lucy even wore her best black dress to meet me ! Well, okay then she was on her way to the end of tour party as you see from the instagram ! Before she jumped in her car she did mention that her next album won't be classical (looks like no-one will be doing classical-crossover any more, it's a dying art !) and that she'd probably spend next week asleep !  The musical "Joseph" is of course based on a biblical story. And it came to pass that in the cool of the evening a multitude of women did gather at the rear of the building, that they might witness their hero Joseph. And lo as darkness fell the gatekeeper did appear unto them at an open window and said unto them that Mr McElderry had long ago departed the building and had come unto the tavern by another way. On hearing this the women were sorely troubled and said among themselves "How can this be, when we have paid good money and put him where he is today ?!" And the moral to this tale is that you can't keep a geordie from his pint ! Here's a clip from the show taken at a venue where the staff were more lenient ! |

A lovely photo of the Joseph Narrator.  Some critics even said Lucy was the best narrator since Sarah Brightman. I can't find SB in "Joseph" on Youtube to compare the two. |

It's a hard life, reporting on shows and meeting glamorous women.  Still, someone has to do it !  |
