OMG I am so excited. My family thinks I am mad.

Have just seen a paragraph in the Daily Mail. Daniel Craig is to be there. No mention of Lee - but what illustrious company.

Circulate to accumulate! :smile:

Hope he gets lots of connections. They will all see how good he is.

Stunning performance from Lee (but what else did we expect!) and a truly fabulous evening all round. There's an audio download of Lee's performance of From Russia With Love on the Timeline, together with a few pics. The sound quality's not great but it gives an idea, and for those of us lucky enough to be there, a reminder of just how great Lee was!

Lee was totally amazing!!!! :heart:

When he came onto the stage he was greeted with whoops and applause! He looked completely stunning, his suit fitted him to perfection as you can all see through Abs' pics :heart:

His voice was chocolately smooth and "From Russia, with Love" brilliantly suited his voice. Would've liked to have seen a bit more of him but I was more than happy with one song with him singing it beautifully. His typical "Lee" smiles were coming through towards the end of the song. He looked completely made up at the response from the audience and acknowledged the orchestra very politely :grin:

Amazing performance. I'm so glad I heard it live and Ro's audio is just a great reminder of how fantastic it was!!!

I was also impressed with Lemar who sang "We Have All The Time In The World " and Laura Michelle Kelly who sang "The Man With The Golden Gun". Tony Hadley was also good, he sang " Thunderball" and "Live and Let Die" surrounded by plenty of pretty women- he was loving it lol

I preferred Beverley Knight's second song a performance of "Nobody Does It Better " (hmmmm who does that remind me of!!!?)

Stephen Fry was a fantastic presenter and seemed to be really enjoying himself. :mrgreen:

Joanna Lumley was also a great presenter. (She's so tiny!) They both seemed to be enjoying the show.

A fab experience last night!!! Thank you so much to Anne :hug:

and thanks to Jessie and Veronica for being great people to sit next to..... even if we did have slightly weird people around us :shock:

It was a really superb evening - we had a fabulous time - we were in Row A just along from Abs, Tricia and Karen.

Great to meet up with you all again .

Great reviews girls :grin:

'Slightly weird people' Chrissi?? lol

They were very weird Ange!! The guy next to Voo had quite a bad...odour problem and was generally quite weird, he sat really far forward with his hands between his knees the whole time, it doesn't sound like much but his behaviour was quite weird! But the whole evening was fun =)

Wow! Sounds Fab.

Thanks so much for the Piccies Ro, Anne, Karen etc. :adore:

I love the recording. SIGH! Lee is so born to sing. That voice sends tingles down my spine!

Luv Kazzer

YAy a Chrissi review!! :grin:

Sounds fab!! :grin:

to the three of you for slightly weird people!

tricia · **Posted:** Mon Oct 06, 2008 11:58 pm

What an amazing night. Have to agree with everything Chrissi said except the weird people because I didn't have any near me.
Lee was as amazing as ever. :thud:

We wouldn't expect anything else from him now. He puts so much into everything he does. He is a real star and especially because he gave up yet another Sunday this time completely unpaid. He just works so hard he deserves every success he has.
Thanks Lee

With apologies to everyone who's already downloaded the original file, now I'm back home with my full suite of software at my disposal, I've managed to improve the sound quality quite a bit on the audio of From Russia With Love.

It's still a fairly small download, so probably worth the effort of doing it again ... EXCEPT you may want to wait a while to see if Kazzer can work any further magic on it!

I've also uploaded more of the programme, in full quality scan-mode this time rather than just photos of the pages!
