To those who have been asking for a new MUSICality album, the time has come. JAY is very pleased to announce the release of THE MUSICality OF BART. Lionel Bart was one of the few British Musical Theatre authors to have conquered the World. The others include Ivor Novello, Noel Coward, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Sandy Wilson and Julian Slade.
Although Lionel Bart was mostly known for his Masterwork OLIVER!, his genius and gift at writing tuneful, innovative and evocative scores shine through on his other not so well known Musicals such as BLITZ!, MAGGIE MAY and TWANG! Here is a collection of Lionel Barts songs to showcase his composing versatility from beautiful ballads to pop and infectious singalong songs. Featuring some of the West End and Opera stars, this album is the perfect introduction to Lionel Barts genius at composing infectious scores and songs. Try getting MAGGIE, MAGGIE MAY out of your mind, once you have heard the song, especially as sung by Graham Bickley here.
