Description

Known to millions for his TV and comedy work, including being the host of BBC game show Pointless, Alexander Armstrong will now realise a lifelong ambition in releasing his debut solo record. As former choral scholar at Trinity College Cambridge, Armstrong is returning to his first love of music with the release of his debut album A Year Of Songs, forty years after he became a choirboy. Showcasing a classical baritone voice, the album is a collection of lavishly orchestrated songs produced by Grammy award winning producer Simon Franglen; some traditional, some more modern, but all of them of special significance to him. Familiar classics include Summertime, Gershwins evergreen standard from Porgy and Bess, to Hushabye Mountain from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and Stranger In Paradise
