We found this lovely old song, and brought it back.  Here's our version of 'Midnight and the stars and you'.

Midnight The Stars And You

A very Julie Andrews type number from the lost musical "Lost Horizon" (I see Katrina skipping over the hillsides followed by a host of Sound-of-Music style kids at this point, in glorious technicolour). There's no denying that Lost Horizon didn't match up to Sound of Music, but these songs by Burt Bacharach and Hal David are worth much more than the film and deserve to be better known.

The World Is A Circle

Gorgeous theme song from the film 'Daddy Long Legs' in which an increasingly aged (but still nimble) Fred Astaire dances with and dates the French dance legend Leslie Caron, who also starred opposite Gene Kelly in 'American in Paris'. One of a number of films in which the credibility of a much-older Astaire as a suitable heart-throb for his young dance partners seems weird to us today. All is forgiven, however, in the final sequence, in which this song is heard.

Dream When I'm Feeling Blue

Beautiful song from "Kiss Me Kate" (1948), and featured in the film "De-Lovely".

So In Love

Katrina Zawawi-Watkins's Album

Days of wine and roses

We had to do this piece, as Katrina is from Sarawak on the island of Borneo.  Gratin Jiwa was written and composed by the legendary P.Ramlee.

Getaran Jiwa

Our medley covering a few of our favourite hits form Matt Monroe.  Songs include: On days like these, From Russia with love, Walk away and Born free.

Matt Monro Medley

My homage to the great 30's crooner, Al Bowlly. Unlike Como, Crosby, Sinatra, Torme, Tony Bennett or Andy Williams, Al Bowlly defines an era purely by virtue of the fact that he was killed in the Blitz, and therefore was never required (or never had the opportunity) to adapt to the later postwar styles. Here are six Bowlly classics which have not been re-imagined by later eras and which, in my view, remain indubitably 'of their time'. I can't hope to imitate Bowlly's superb timbre so I've gone for Noel Coward meets David Bowie...

AB_Its all forgotten now

AB_Im thru with love

AB_I'll forsake all others2

AB_Two sleepy people

AB_Midnight the stars and you 2

AB_Gone forever

Haunting song from the film of "Romeo and Juliet". The subject matter and to a certain extent the thematic material share a passing resemblance to Queen's "Who wants to live forever?" We modelled our version on that of the inimitable Johnny Mathis.

A Time for Us

A rather elegantly constructed little number from Road to Rio (1947), one of the "Road" movies that featured Bob Hope, Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour. "Moonlight becomes you" was another song to come out of these films, which we have recorded elsewhere.
