ALFIE BOE

[Lena & Harry Smith]

Yes there was a lot of giggling Marian. It was a mix up today of Michael Boe and Alfie Ball. Michael Ball has quite a dry sense of humour at times and told Alfie that he is doing ok, and has strung a few words together.

[Marian]

Alfie is on the 'Strictly' results show tomorrow night. I think with the Soldier's Wives Choir who he met at the Remembrance Day concert.
Does anyone know if Vera Lyn was reunited with her brooch she lost that night? It was given to her by Field Marshall Montgomery and she was very upset to lose it.

[Lena & Harry Smith]

We'll definitely be watching that Marian.
We haven't heard if Dame Vera Lynn's brooch has been found and returned, but let's hope it will be. It means so much to her.

[Marian]

Well, no Military Wives choir but maybe next week, although a friend said they were on X Factor, but I didn't see them.
Alfie sang a medley of Bond themes dressed in a 007 suit for Movie night! Unusual for him, both the songs, and the suit!

[karl]

I've seen Alfie in a suit several times Marian.

[Lena & Harry Smith]

It was unusual to see Alfie in a suit, when he's usually in jeans. Perhaps some Strict rules on the show. but he performed and sang those songs beautifully .

[Marian]

Only two more days till our trip to the Royal Festival Hall. Among Alfie's guests are Mel C, Matt Lucas, Paul Michel Schonberg and Tom Fletcher from McFly. The show will be shown simultaneously in certain cinemas too, so I'm hoping there will be a DVD.

Marian his dvd is released March 5th, check it out on Amazon.

[Marian]

So it is. I've just pre-ordered my copy.

I think the Military wives may be on next week-they were definately not there this week. Plus Coldplay is going to be on either Strictly or X factor.

[Sandra]

Enjoy Alfie Boe tonight Marian(Of course you will!)

I hope their is a DVD too. Yes he is at our cinema tonight but we have a previous engagement,isn't it always the way

But we will enjoy our annual visit listening to the Regimental Band of RAF Cranwell ''doing Christmas''

[Marian]

Enjoy your evening too Sandra and John, it sounds like it will be fun!

[Marian]

Just arrived home from seeing Alfie. Great show! He's a comedian as well as a brilliant singer. Guests Matt Lucas, Mel C, Tom McFly, Claud Michel Shonberg and the little Cosette from Les Mis, plus guest singer Laura Knight, all added to a very enjoyable evening. In the audience Derren Brown, Angela Rippon and Jane Asher, also the other two who wrote Les Mis with Claud Michel. Buy the DVD!

[Sandra]
