The orchestral programme included pieces by Richard Strauss, Rossini, Smetana, Tchaikovsky, J Strauss, Katchachurian, Offenbach; the choir joined in with Gershwin, Borodin and Elgar. Organist Luc Ponet joined them for some Saint-Saens, Albinoni (the Procoholic Adagio), and JS Bach. |
In the rock part of the programme the principal vocal artists were Gary Brooker (pictured, above), Sting and Colin Blunstone, with special guests Barry Ryan and local hero Frank Boeijen. They were accompanied by 'The Electric Band' which was constituted as follows:
|
Richard Cottle |
(ex-Jagger, Clapton, Wham, Seal, Rod Stewart, Paul Young, Bowie, Right Said Fred, Joan Armatrading, Foreigner, Bad Company, Peter Frampton) |
|
Laurence Cottle |
(ex-Clapton, Black Sabbath, Alan Parsons Project, Mike Oldfield ... and of course a one-off bass-player with Procol Harum) |
|
Ian Bairnson |
(ex-Pilot, Alan Parsons Project, Kate Bush, Chris de Burgh, Mick Fleetwood, Tom Jones) |
|
Stewart Elliott |
(ex-Cockney Rebel, Alan Parsons Project, Kate Bush, Bonnie Tyler) |
Gary performed The Long Goodbye, A Whiter Shade of Pale, and Into the Flood.
If you have the recording apparently depicted here, perhaps you could let BtP know?
We're not confident about the existence of a CD depicted in a programme that must have been printed before the performance such a recording would commemorate.
