At Last!

 

2011

 

What an amazing opportunity this project was to have been involved with. Patricia Fitzpatrick of 'Cape Cod Cabaret' realized that there was an enormous gap in the music industry. Ever since love song duets CDs have been produced, they have ALL been sung between a man and a woman. She thought the way society was now more accepting of the 'gay' lifestyle.... why wasn't there a CD with men singing about love, (with other men). So she put this idea into practice with myself as one of the principle vocalists. The other principal vocalist was Raif, we were joined by David Atkinson, and Joey Infante (regular 'Broadway' Performer'). On the piano was Glenn Starner-Tate, (an amazing pianist). Together we created something truely unique, and very touching... and filled the gap in the music industry! :-) '

 

 

 

Gay Pride - Maspalomas '08

 

8th May 2008

 

I opened Gay Pride festival with 'Rudi', a very dear friend of mine. We sang 'Tell me it's not true' from the Blood Brothers. Later in the show, I performed 'Regresa a mi' (the Spanish language version of 'Un-break my heart', (accompanied by two dancers), immediately afterwards I sang 'Nessun Dorma'. There were an estimated 17,000 people in the audience. Unfortunately, Pride was not televised, although there are various clips on 'youtube', and a DVD is available of the show.

 

 

 

Gran Canaria's 'Wedding singer'

I have recently been asked to be on 'the books' of various 'Wedding Planners' to be one of their official Singers for their Legal Weddings and Relationship Blessings..

Rossini's - Club Puerto Atlantico - Arguineguin

 

Spring 2007 - 2014

 

I am extremely proud to have been offered the opportunity to perform in this superb setting no less than 2/3 times each week (depending on the Season). Rossini's offers front line ocean views, where guests enjoy the finest food in the most exceptional of settings. So if you want Pavarotti with your pasta, or Show-Songs with your steak, this is the only place to come!
