Followed by another great folk duo, Christine Collister and Clive Gregson, Christine's voice is sublime and paired with singer/songwriter, musician and record producer Clive Gregson produces great music that is emotional and true.

Finally, before work beckons, this collection of the Shirley Bassey songbook accompanied by the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Carl Davis. A early 80's digital recording using a Sony PCM 3324 multi track recorder, which on many systems can sound a tad too digital, which is a shame, as her vocals and three octave range are at times spine tingling and the arrangements are suitably large scale as befits the songs and her voice.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
