After a few major “hiccups” (with star guest vocalists going down with tonsilitis, a baby bawling during one of the performances and a minor explosion in the street a few yards from the shop!), the live showcase and CD signing event for Joe Sterling’s debut album SOMEWHERE IN MY MIND last Saturday at Dress Circle went really well. Everyone who was there seemed to genuinely enjoy the songs and a number of albums were sold!
In fact today the album is officially listed number 10 in the Dress Circle current Best Seller list of cds. I am really proud to be a part of this album - most of the songs are from the musical ROUNDABOUT which I am in the process of writing with Joe Sterling. And the album has already received a number of rave reviews, notably from The Public Reviews, which described Joe Sterling as “the freshest and possibly hottest new talent in musical theatre” and Theatremania: “Sterling’s gorgeous songs tell witty and heartfelt stories in the vernacular of contemporary pop”.
Please take a look and listen to the videos below, filmed at Dress Circle on Saturday. Hope you enjoy the songs and the performances! If you do, please spread the word - and maybe you might even like to go buy the album! (Sorry for the unashamed plug, but new musical theatre writing in the UK needs all the plugs it can get!)And, of course, any feedback will be most welcome.
