A New Star In Heaven

October 1998 - We are often asked about this song.This song seems very unlikely to ever be recorded for full commercial release although it is known that 100 copies have been produced and a number of these have been given to members of the Royal Household including the two princes. Apparently Chris has been offered £20000 for just one copy. Some are likely to be auctioned on a future BBC Children In Need Appeal Night.


Somerley recording

September 1998 - A recording of the recent Somerley House Open Air Concert was made by the BBC and is scheduled for transmission on Saturday 5th September on BBC Radio2 at 8pm. BBC Radio 2 is available in Europe to Astra Satellite receivers on the following frequency.
11.553 Ghz Horizontal (UK Gold) ; Audio 7.74Mhz
By all account this was an excellent concert and is well worth listening in for.
