Brucie Bonus

Chart success has never been that important at Glastonbury. Bruce Forsyth may prove that. His fourth studio album "These Are My Favourites" was first issued in November 2011, and stormed to number 58 in the UK album chart - that's despite plugging on QVC. In this track, a mysterious orchestra can be heard in addtion to the players in vision, but not, apparently, a tenor solo. Can Michael Eavis afford the same invisible players ? (The ad can be skipped, before, ahem, the ad).



Other tracks include "Paper Moon", a duet reconstructed from a recording of Bruce and Nat King Cole at the London Palladium. "Smile" is a duet with Bruce's granddaughter Sophie - daughter of Julie Forsyth and Dominic Grant, part of Guys 'N' Dolls. The arranger/conductor is German-born Chris Walden.
