Mandela reminder

Many DSB fans plan to watch her performance on TV.

 As previously announced, Dame Shirley will sing on 27th June at the 46664 Concert honouring Nelson Mandela in Hyde Park, London.

The line-up of artists is eclectic, featuring everything from loud rock to some great African performers.

Apparently each artist gets 15 minutes, about 3 songs.

Here again is the link to 46664:

If you’re planning to go, I’d welcome any eyewitness report and scoop photos to share with fans.

(Non DSB) Blake wins top gong

Blake, the four-man classical vocal group, who sang at DSB’s birthday bash last year, have won Album of The Year at the Classical Brits.

The quartet, who consist of 20-somethings Ollie Baines, Stephen Bowman, Jules Knight and Dom Tighe, are only the second act to win Album of the Year for a debut album in the history of the prize.

The classical boyband signed a million-pound, five-album deal with record label Universal last summer.
