My Sweet Lord was a George Harrison single and Woman was John Lennon I'd like to see Darius sing Yesterday or Here comes the sun

I would have liked to hear Darius sing Yesterday. In fact all of the songs,

urgh Impossible Dream should be Darius' song

Darius has by far the richest tone of voice. Would have loved to hear him sing Yesterday.

Mercedes Benz was great though my favourite was the Mercedes song

Only Darius could get me listening to something like this and for two hours. No wonder my daughter has disappeared into her bedroom.

I'm not sure if this has already been posted BRYWmJ_Op_Q

way out of my price bracket.

http://darksidestage.blogspot.com/2010/09/...iewsdarius.html This article was originally published in the North East's Sunday Sun. Since turning down a recording contract with Simon Cowell after finishing third in Pop Idol, Darius Campbell (formerly Danesh) has gone on to become a platinum selling, chart topping sensation. After winning ITV’s Popstar to Operastar earlier this year, he was involved in a horrific car crash. He spoke to STUART EDWARDS about his recovery and future plans. “I’ve learnt to be grateful for every day and to make the most of it. I’m incredibly lucky to be here right now.” Darius Campbell fell somewhat off the radar after the lukewarm response to his second album Live Twice. The pop sensation became a leading name in pop music following the number one album Dive In and single Colourblind. After the release of his second album, Darius became involved in West-End theatre and faded slowly from the public spotlight. His career has found new life following winning ITV’s Popstar to Operastar, with a leading role in Carmen, performed at the O2 Arena in London. Life evolved from something appreciated to something sacred for Darius in July. A car crash at 70mph left him with a series of injuries, but fortunately no major life-changing injuries. “I’m so grateful that I came away from the crash with no neurological damage. The doctors also told me if I my neck injury had been 3mm in one direction I would be paralysed for life. 3mm the other and I would have been killed.” “Eight weeks later I’m still doing physio five times a day and I’m getting there. I’ll be going all out when the tour starts though. I’ve been so lucky to have a focus to get me through.” Darius’ focus has been the upcoming History of Big Bands tour, which sees him fronting a concert that takes us on a montage through decades of Big Band music. The tour started last night in St. Albans and visits the northeast with a show at Darlington’s Civic Theatre on October 21st. But what exactly is ‘Big Band’ music and why is a pop icon so involved? Big Band music is the term coined for a form of jazz music. It usually features ten or more musicians, including a rhythm section, singers, saxophones, trumpets and trombones. The genre was at its mainsteam peak in the 1930s and 40, however the genre has continued to evolve into the 21st century. Using his celebrity status, Darius hopes to encourage more people to discover the genre. “We’re trying to bring the sound up to date whilst paying tribute to legends such as Sinatra and Tony Bennett, who was a massive inspiration. I want to try and do for Big Band music what Amy Winehouse has done for 60s soul. I’ve always found this type of music so inspiring but I never thought I could perform it right.” “Music like this has to be sung with life experience; the singer has to have a connection to what the song is saying. I find it difficult to connect to lyrics about life when they’re sung by a kid.” Carefully navigating a comment about Justin Bieber, Darius explained how he still looks back on his pop career with pride and pays homage to how it guided him to this career. “I think everything happens for a reason and at the time it does. I learnt so much from my training with Rolando. I understand parts of life better now than I had used to, having my heart broken and, dare I say breaking a few along the way myself. Without everything I have done in my past I might not be in the position I am now.” “Right now I’m just really looking forward to getting out there and performing again for my fans. We’ve just put one of the songs on my website (www.dariusmusic.com) so there’s a taster of what to expect from the shows. I’ll then carry on working on my third album, though I can’t say when that will be ready.” “I just feel lucky to be here and performing. Rehearsals have been going great so come along!” The History of the Big Bands, starring Darius Campbell is on tour now. The show comes to Darlington Civic Theatre on October 21st.

This is typical of local authorities. Ours has to save £25 million this year so cuts are inevitable and jobs at risk.

The problems were with facebook not your computer

I will when I'm home at the weekend Bramley

I don't have speakers, just played the songs on my laptop. The advantage is - it is easy to stop, start and playback

yes, bitter makes more sense

Everybody Wants to Be Jack It’s not so much she’s unavailable it’s more that she’s just so adorable She’s the girl that someone else owns she’s so beautiful in her bones she’s so lovely she’d put heaven on the map the way she moves is bound to get you but she’s strictly off the menu and she seals it when she looks at him like that Everyone wants to be Jack everyone wants to be Jack everybody wants to be Jack everyone wants to be Jack everybody wants to be Jack She’s the song I love to sing the smell of honey in the Spring every dream my heart could ever hold I want be the one that she adores I see her standing there before me unaware she lights the room with gold She’s the girl that someone else owns she’s so beautiful in her bones she’s so lovely she’d put heaven on the map the way she moves is bound to get you but she’s strictly off the menu and she seals it when she looks at him like that Everyone wants to be Jack everyone wants to be Jack everybody wants to be Jack everyone wants to be Jack everybody wants to be Jack She’s the kiss of snow you melt into her eyes they mesmerise each true red blooded man she ever gets to know she’s what I imagine love to be a mona lisa mystery the main attraction everywhere she goes She’s my fatal fascination and I’d have no hesitation if she gave some indication she might crack but she seems absolutely smitten and I swear that I’m not bitter but I wish she’d realise he ain’t worth Jack Everyone wants to be Jack ???????? the fascination ????????remonstrating the kind of guy who likes to wait everybody wants to be Jack He’s the guy that never rings though she wonders where he’s been all she ever sees is him everybody wants to be Jack everyone wants to be Jack everybody wants to be Jack everyone wants to be Jack everybody wants to be Jack It was very hard to make out what the girl was singing at the end so I half guessed some.

Great pics Paul, sorry you got busted.

well I would assume it is a dvd as no one makes videos now.

He did last night Sue

The first half is an hour long and Darius was on stage for probably about half that time both singing and narrating. There were quite a few tunes that featured only the Big Band and some where a girl was on stage doing her burlesque act. The second half was half an hour long and in this part Darius was on for most of the time - It is in this half that he sings Devil in You, the three new songs and Colourblind.

We didn't see him before the show, only after

You could by a programme, CD, Mug and keyring. All four could be purchased for £30 The programme was £10 The CD £10 The Mug £6.50 and the keyring (£5 I think) Darius was available after the show to sign CDs and programmes

Swing isn't my type of music Bramley. However Darius sounded fantastic. As well as the well known tunes he sang his three new songs, Devil in You and Colourblind but Big band does nothing for me and the music played before the show and in the interval just depressed me.
