Lyrics

The lyrics of "The performance of my life", sung by Shirley Bassey on her new album released today, can now be read in the LYRICS section of this site.

Message from Neil

I'm very disappointed that our shows in Ukraine have been cancelled although I understand why. A few years ago we were meant to play a free concert in Kiev and it was cancelled by the government because it was planned to happen at election time. And we've had several discussions about performing "Battleship Potemkin" in Odessa (where it was filmed) which haven't worked out. I hope we finally make it there next year. Neil x
