I seem to remember seeing this a while ago, and remember it being in celebration of Ian Fleming, but there was no mention of who the guests were at that time.
Can't really justify another trip as I have the Mikado in Brum the following week, but hope some of his fans can manage to go as it sounds spectacular !!!!!!  |

Sounds wonderful Marian. 
I'm so pleased that we have at least two members going - it would be awful not to have any reviews. And good that Jonathan will have some support.
It's a shame that it falls right in the middle of the Mikado - so many people have booked for that - and cant make this one too.
I read on Hayley's site that she will be singing a James Bond song - so I'm guessing that perhaps all the artists will? Wonder what Jonathan will sing!
It's such a good cause too - well done Jonathan.
Love Molly xx |

Oh theres so many fab Bond themes -My faves would be Nobody does it better and Tomorrow never dies -but they all have loads of drama and atmosphere perfect for Jonathan . |

Ever since hearing Jonathan sing Prayer in the Night, I have wanted him to do a Bond classic. The very end of PITN always makes me think of it.
As Jonathan is so good with those power notes, iIam sure he would do any of the Bond themes justice.
Wouldn't it be great if he gets to record one for a brand new film! |

I've entered a competition in a local newspaper for this...othewise couldn't afford it after spending on the Mikado and 3 tour dates !!!
I'm not lucky usually but nothing ventured , nothing gained. |

I quiet fancy him at 'Live & Let Die' - nice power notes in that one combined with the softer touch as well
Good Luck Ruth - fingers crossed for you

Live and Let Die would be a wonderful song for him.
Good luck with the competition Ruth - it would be great to have a few more fans there at the event. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
I cant wait to hear back from Mary - what he does actually sing!
