Friday Round Up with Alfie Boe: No. 3

Last week we had the chance to hear Alfie on BBC Radio 2’s Friday Night is Music Night, recorded back in October.  All I can say is that it was worth waiting for  – Alfie sang a handful of songs from Serenata and of course the obligatory Bring Him Home.  After all this time, Alfie sings this song differently every time and FNIMN was one of the most moving I’ve heard for a while.  Thanks again to Marcia for sharing:

Tomorrow is of course the first night of the much anticipated tour and last Saturday night saw the number one song revealed on the Alfie Boe Best Ever Live Song poll – if you missed it, here is the result:

Lastly, in a quiet week (rehearsals going at full pace I imagine), Serenata debuted at 14 in the UK album charts and 3 in the classical chart.  The surprise re-entry of You’ll Never Walk Alone in at number 8 on the classical chart shows that people are discovering all types of Alfie music. Go Alfie!

A lovely interview with Charlotte Green on Classic FM – so good to see this station really getting behind Alfie again:

There have been a couple of other radio interviews broadcast this week (thanks to the ever reliable Marcia) click here to hear.

The week got off to a fabulous start for some lucky fans in Manchester and Blackpool.

Also, we are assured that rehearsals are underway and going well:

Alfie Boe’s Serenata is Here – Updated Post

Updated to include a full clip of BBC Breakfast:

At last, I was able to download Alfie Boe”s Serenata this morning which made a fantastic start to an otherwise drab and dreary Monday.  At this early stage I don’t have a favourite track, although Addio Sogni di Gloria may be it, they are all just absolutely beautiful.  Forgive me, a longer review will appear here…SOON!

Before that, though, Alfie was a guest on BBC Breakfast today with Bill Turnbull and Louise Minchin –  nice interview although even Louise seemed exasperated that Bill mentioned the car mechanic story!  On the other hand, she clearly liked having Alfie cuddle up at the end of the show:

 

Monday continued in a good vein for some fans in the North West with the CD signing in HMV Manchester – onto HMV Blackpool tomorrow.  Now, if he can just pop down to an HMV in London this week, that would be great too!
