The Request Show this evening represented everything that is brilliant with this show! Classic show favourite artists like Frank Sinatra, Rod Stewart and Dolly Parton all featured, along with some less familiar but nonetheless nostalgic tracks. Topping these was the selection of the Obernkirchen Children’s Choir version of the Happy Wanderer, a post-war rendition of this classic song which became popular throughout Europe in the 50’s. Mixing things up still was a track from the Mamma Mia musical and a contemporary choice in the form of Bruno Mars. This week’s Best Request (the track that most memorable from last week’s show was John Lennon’s Imagine).
