Thought people on the board may like to hear some of the fantastic performances at the Giggin4Good charity concert at the Actors' Church on October 7 that have now been put up on youtube. Here's just a small selection (will post links to more later).

First - prepare to be blown away by Laura Mansell singing Peter Allen's DON'T CRY OUT LOUD (she's from Rhondda in Wales - so of course is bound to be amazing lol). I just love the way she begins with great subtlety and builds to a crescendo and then blows me away.

Here's my friend Shaun McCourt singing LONELY TOWN (On The Town) - my favourite Bernstein song. For those of you who don't know Shaun - he's currently First Cover Joseph on the UK Joseph tour(and if you're lucky enough to catch him on in the role, his Close Every Door and Any Dream Will Do are amazing).

My friend Rosa O'Reilly singing I AM CHANGING from Dreamgirls. Rosa was First Cover Eponine in the 25th Anniversary tour of Les Mis and has played Meat in WWRY at the Dominion. She is currently playing Elizabeth on the Dirty Dancing Tour. AND you can here her singing the song Ships That Pass In The Night (by Joe Sterling & me) on the album SOMEWHERE IN MY MIND - THE SONGS OF JOE STERLING:

Hope you all enjoy these performances from what was an amazing night at the Actors' Church.

The gorgeous vocal tones of Shaun McCourt once again - this time singing IF I COULD FIND A BOY from Jake Brungetr & Pippa Cleary's brilliant musical Jet Set Go (some people may have heard Mark Evans sing it when the show was staged at Jermyn Street a couple of years ago):

Just had to include this one, partly coz it features my two closest friends and partly coz it is one of the most amazing songs I've ever heard - Joe Sterling singing his song LOVE IS ENOUGH (with Spamalot's Kit Orton on violin):
