Alfie Boe’s Pants!

No, I haven’t gone raving mad in the absence of any real Alfie Boe news …you read the title right,, this is about Alfie’s pants!

Some of you eagle eyed Boe fans may remember a charity auction last year for MAD Trust when celebrities designed pants for online bids.  Alfie designed  a pair (decorated Les Mis 24601 style, I believe, although I promise I didn’t pay that much attention!!!) and the good news is that he has designed another pair for the charity.

The online auction goes live on 8th September and as yet we have no idea of the design for this year – what do we think it might be? And even more pertinent…what will be the winning bid!  Hopefully, lots of money will be raised to help this charity. Click here for more information on how The Make A Difference Trust offers support and help to people living with HIV, AIDS and other chronic illnesses.

So, until September, we now have a legitimate reason for wondering about Alfie Boe’s pants!

Glory Glory in Salt Lake City for Alfie Boe

Alfie Boe’s charity show in Salt Lake City turned out to be a Glory Glory kind of night.  Alfie’s first song, Bring Him Home was part of the auction and a pre-cursor to the evening.  Alfie’s main show came later and started off with Volare and Mambo Italiano from his new album, Serenata.  He then went on to O Sole Mio and Now or Never which were very well received by the audience and then into a couple of songs from his most recent US album, Trust.  As you can see from the video (thanks to Claire Smith for sharing) Glory Glory was enthusiastically received too!
