Junior, 'Fame' Search For A Star
-
-
THIS weekend saw the
third heat of the 2005 Junior, 'Fame' Search For A Star,
held at Cassablanca, Pleasureland, in Southport. The
standard was amazingly high and the judges had a hard
time picking out the best six children to go through to
the finals, so they picked seven instead! Well done to
all of the children who took part in the contest and
remember the next one is next Saturday... yep, same
time, same venue.... 2pm Cassablancas... Don't miss it.

Christmas Stocking Filler.... Simply Red – ‘Cuba!’
competition!
-
-
- THE new DVD
that was released on November 14 2005 is stunning.
It has been recorded on location in Havana’s ‘Gran
Teatro’, in high definition and in 5.1 surround
sound. ‘Cuba!’ encapsulates the energy of a hugely
impressive live show, performed to an ecstatic crowd
in August 2005. Impressively, Simply Red made
history as the first non-classical act to be invited
to perform in this historic venue.
Irresistibly upbeat and distinctly Latin in tone,
‘Cuba!’ follows the October release of ‘Simplified’,
the new album from Simply Red which debuted at
Number 3. The album takes familiar and deservedly
well-loved tracks from the band’s back catalogue and
represents them in a stripped-down and, as the title
attests, simplified form. It also features new
material from the band, including their take on the
Leon Russell classic ‘Song For You’.
Directed by multi award-winning Hamish Hamilton
whose previous credits range from Madonna and U2, to
the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Jay Z, as well as such
events as The Brit Awards and the MTV Europe Awards,
the DVD includes the full-length concert, an
exclusive behind-the-scenes documentary, a photo
gallery shot by the award winning photographer
Hamish Brown, and the video for the single ‘Perfect
Love’, also shot in Havana.
“In concert at the Gran Teatro, whether alone in the
spotlight or sharing in the stage in carnival
fashion with native Cuban players and
classically-trained but newly-liberated dancers,
Mick Hucknall and Simply Red deliver an inarguable
truth: they are one of Britain’s best ever bands,
and this is them at their finest” in
the words of Alan Jackson.
The complete
track listing for the DVD is as follows:- A Song For
You; Your Mirror; Stars For Your Babies; Sop
Beautiful; Smile; Home; Sad Old Red; Holding Back
The Years; It’s Only Love; More; Love Fire; Sunrise;
The Right Thing; Come To My Aid; Perfect Love;
Fairground; Something Got Me Started and not
forgetting If You Don’t Know Me By Now
This is a fans dream DVD. We have rated it at 5 out
of 5 and you could win a copy of it... All you have
