A Taste Of Honey September 11 2014

 Great Music and Great Artistes have a habit of providing a  body of work that acts as a catalyst for current artists to re-interpret and showcase to  today’s  audiences. Michael  Falzon (pic.far left)( interviewed on today’s show) together  with Bobby  Fox (pic.inside left), bring to  the stage  on  September 24th, at the  City Recital  Hall, Angel  Place, Sydney, ‘Painted From Memory ‘  The  Music of Burt  Bacharach and Elvis  Costello  (pic.  centre). In today’s  program, I  have showcased a  selection of songs  from Burt Bacharach’s outstanding body  of work done by artistes such as David Ruffin, Peter Sellers & The Hollies, Everything But The Girl, Ani DiFranco, Deacon Blue, The Stylistics, Dusty Springfield, The Walker Brothers  and The Beatles. 

In addition the programme features songs by Elvis Costello (solo) and also from these two artistes’ collaborative album ‘Painted From Memory’ released in 1998, the featured music of the second act of the live show.

The depth of  music from the works of Bacharach and Costello is simply stunning. It is impossible to do it justice in 90 minutes and that is not my intention – just endeavouring to give everyone a taste of the show’s content and ‘tickle your musical tastebuds’ for future listening adventures from these two ICONS of contemporary music.
