More G4


By Sarah-Jane Hollands, G4 correspondant.

Yesterday saw the release of G4's second CD this year. Phenomenal sales of their debut album, which went double platinum, and a 25 date sell-out tour, enabled the boys to get straight back in the studio to record another album in time for the Christmas market.
.
As sub-editor of this blog, I felt it my duty to rush out and purchase said CD, to see if it measured up to the high standards of the first - I was not disappointed.
.
On the first CD (G4), there was a splendid, spine tingling version of 'Jerusalem'.
On the new CD (G4 and Friends). we are treated to a very proud rendition of 'I Vow To Thee, My Country'.
.
That got me thinking. Clearly, Jon, Ben, Mike and Matt are patriotic chaps. Perhaps there is a gap in the market for a whole album of very British songs.
.
'Rule Brittania', 'Flower of Scotland', 'Land of My Fathers', 'Scotland the Brave', 'God Save The Queen' and of course, everyone's favourite, 'Land of Hope and Glory'...... these are just some of the many celebratory, patriotic songs that would benefit from the G4 treatment.
.
So how about it boys? Let's have an album the whole nation can be proud of - these are the songs that made Britain great - we can be great again!
.
And by the way chaps, there's an open invitation to Tea Time with Troy (and the sub-editor will come along too, for good measure!) - do join us for tea and a chat, we may even throw in a biscuit or two!
.
G4 and Friends - CD of the Week!
