Nice. Title: Re: Streets of London with Crisis Choir Post by: PaulT on December 07, 2017, 07:50:58 AM Just watched the video on youtube - I have never been a great fan of the song (probably through over-familiarity), but THIS is the real deal. Off to download it now, and I urge everyone to do likewise. Great musical and choral arrangement, but the video...
If you don't find yourself smiling :) through damp eyes :'( as the video progresses, I'd be amazed!

Title: Re: Streets of London with Crisis Choir Post by: Steve with the black dog on December 23, 2017, 08:06:15 PM Heard it for the first time on Radio 2 this morning. A great rendition of a timeless song. It made me sad to think that the problem of homelessness is getting worse and worse.
Title: Re: Streets of London with Crisis Choir Post by: John Beresford on December 24, 2017, 12:16:17 AM Once upon a time we went to our local record shop and bought a 7" vinyl record over the counter. This week in 1974 'Streets of London' was No 6 on Top of the Pops.

A great rendition of a timeless song. It made me sad to think that the problem of homelessness is getting worse and worse. It's so visible as well. I pass a beggar on virtually every street corner in the city where I live. Govt must be blind to it, or wilfully ignoring.

Title: Re: Streets of London with Crisis Choir Post by: John Beresford on February 21, 2018, 06:41:46 PM Good question. I'll ask...
Title: Re: Streets of London with Crisis Choir Post by: John Beresford on March 05, 2018, 06:17:36 PM Reply from Crisis:
Sorry to come back to you so late but I’m still waiting to hear back about the Half Moon gig. As soon as I do, I’ll be in touch. Re The Streets of London single, we won't be in a position to count royalties until the record label does its accounting in late March. There is also the question of monies from PPL, and the figures for this won't be available until June. Will be in touch when I know more… Title: Re: Streets of London with Crisis Choir Post by: John Beresford on March 13, 2018, 02:21:14 PM Crisis has confirmed that Ralph donated £3,000 from the Half Moon gig.
