Amid rumours that Dame Shirley Bassey will be opening the star-studded concert on Monday atop of Buckingham Palace in Brian May style singing Diamonds Are Forever, here’s the original and best version of Get The Party Started to get us all in the mood to celebrate!
We’re expecting lots more visitors to the Blog in the next few days so a warm welcome to anyone who is here for the first time. I am now going to give an unashamed plug to DSB’s Get The Party Started album…
If you don’t already have the album, click here to download direct from the independent label. Producers of the album, Catherine and Nikki from Never The Bride have landed safely in New York and will no doubt be visiting some of Dame Shirley’s old haunts like Carnegie Hall during their trip. I encourage anyone in NYC to go and see them live and report back to the Blog with any DSB secrets they may give away. I have heard they will be doing their own (I’m sure unique) version of Get The Party Started as well as The Living Tree!
Wishing everyone a wonderful Diamond Jubilee Weekend

Dear Ed; DSB is very good at opening numbers, BUT, do hope she closes!!
I see no reason why she can’t do both Jill! The introduction to Diamonds Are Forever is the perfect soundtrack, maybe she’ll open with it on the roof and then close the show with a spectacular reprise!
whatever we may all hope for , what will be will be. I would like to have seen a minimum 3 song set off the top of my head……`Does anybody miss me ?`, `This is my Life & `The Partys Over`
CANT WAIT TO SEE THE GREAT DAME.” DIAMONDS” TO OPEN THE CONCERT, SHE WILL BE THE TOPS…Terence,,,,,,, we do not want “does anybody miss me” or “the partys over” OUR DAME IS GOING TO GO ON FOREVER…
Foi lindo,Shirley ter iniciado o show com “Diamonds Are Forever” !!!!Que grande orgulho para todos os fãs ouvir esta voz notável.Grande mulher que ao longo dos anos nos encantou.Sou portuguesa e espero continuar a ouvir a grande DIVA.
