A Working Year |
|
Carolyn Rowe's working year reads like a whistle stop
tour of the major cities of the UK and Europe pausing
occasionally to perform for 40,000 people at Elland Rd
Leeds football stadium, televised across the world,
then straight on to a glamorous charity performance
for the Royal family of Holland (The Orange Ball).
Sprinkled into these amazing events are the James Bond
corporate evenings, as far north as Glen Eagles in Scotland
and as far South as Cornwall for a Bond event with
Pierce Brosnan (Douglas James, James Bond impersonator).
Arriving by helicopter for a selected audience of millionaires
intent on listening to the spell bound voice of Carolyn Rowe's,
Bassey Sings Bond tribute show before purchasing Diamonds
and Cartier courtesy of a leading British jeweller.

She found time to sing at an ITV Good Morning birthday party,
in-between cabaret at the Inn on the Park and Grosvenor Hotel
both in Park Lane London she was in the TV studios for ITV
Loose Women and the GMTV Lorraine Kelly Show.
She was also found singing Bond on Channel 5 news!
Add to this private bookings for anniversary evenings, birthday
celebrations and charity dinners including a memorable evening
singing on the magnificent staircase in the British Museum
Great Hall, where the sound engineer refused to believe she was
not the real Shirley Bassey, but a Shirley Bassey impersonator!.
A fog bound flight to Guernsey gave us cause for concern but
we arrived just in time for sound check.
The island held its breath for Carolyn's arrival, the next day,
the Guernsey Globe newspaper review was outstanding. We had
an easier time flying to Galway (Ireland) where Carolyn was invited
to top the bill at the televised song festival.

An invitation to a Gala evening in Marbella Spain, topped up
Carolyn's tan before she went back into the recording studio to
record her version of the new single The Living Tree and perfect the
voice instantly recognised as Dame Shirley Bassey. She then returned
home exhausted.
Her year culminated with a New year's Eve gala at the Baden Baden
Casino/Concert Hall in Germany, the huge Concert Hall played
Dame Shirley Bassey herself some years earlier. After visiting friends
in Frankfurt Carolyn flew home to refresh herself and reflect on an amazing year.
