As I'm maxed out on being able to just post likes; I completely agree. Obviously it was total nostalgia, but even without being able to watch as yet, just listening and knowing it was all live it was hugely impressive.

Time will pass you by. Yep. But the legacy remains. 👊

Heading into the 3 before 8....

Agree. Perfectly decent version but strangely not in keeping with just how true to form the rest has been. But then again, imagine how proud Edwin would have been to have his song showcased like this in the Albert Hall!

It Really Hurts Me Girl Tough one to reproduce. This sounds good to me. Maybe a top example of the quality of how well this prom has captured this music?

Doing a great job

Thanks for that!

When I checked on the website this evening, it is listed as one of the selected proms to be televised, but it didn't have any details. I'd guess it will be out via iPlayer maybe in a few days?

Joe Dudell & Fiona Price, who arranged the performances. Well done you two; organising obviously highly skilled musicians and really talented vocalists and serving us a beautiful range of renditions of the songs we all love, bringing them to life with amazing skill and avoiding the temptation of going off piste!

Thanks H

Anyone know if the backing singers are the ones not headlining for the song but listed as the singers for the event, or another bunch altogether? Either way, they're good!

Strangely, although I was disappointed that it wasn't live on TV, I'm enjoying it more just listening via a decent speaker with some good bass (playing from the iPhone onto HomePod). It's kind of more like being there! The quality of music, singing and arrangement is really excellent, can't see it falling off here on in. 🍻👏🎶

I can't add a like to that but yes!

Track listing from the BBC Sounds link, not sure where to find confirmation of who the singers are on each specific track:

Absolutely. (Seems I can't post any more reaction likes for today)

Got ours going via iPhone on the HomePod - very happy with the sound.

The woman singing Gone With The wind doing an equally good job, and the orchestra on all of these has been really good too.

The guy singing Night Owl doing a great job on the phrasing. Impressed.

Good start.. MVPs (not MPVs as was on the website listing 🤣)

Finally got round to buying it, really like it.

I've just tried the link as, like others, I can't see anything on any BBC TV station for this evening. It shows the 'Prom 2 Northern Soul' as one of the listed proms within the TV guide, but clicking it takes you nowhere. As a test I clicked the link for tomorrow's prom (Vivaldi, The Four Seasons). That works and tells you it will be on BBC4. So I'm guessing that you can listen live to the Northern Soul one tonight, but it won't be on TV yet. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/Nv86dGXjPQr1GQxQTfgWYS/proms-2023-on-bbc-tv

Not sure how many people were in the MPVs (🤣);

I think @Amsterdam Russ has the definitive answer on this, see above!

Bloody hell, this sounds good. Hope the trailer isn't cherry-picking!

Just spotted this documentary coming up this evening, Friday 9th June 2023. BBC4 at 10pm - 11pm.
