There's an event at the St James Studio in a couple of weeks called
Sunday at the Musicals which has over 20 female singers coming together to celebrate the world of musical theatre, showing off what can be achieved in the freedom of the one-night cabaret form. Which just goes to point up the relative disappointment of a night called
An Evening with Matthew Strachan & Guests which just managed the two, with one song a piece.
Strachan is a composer of considerable credits (as per
Wikipedia) but has the ignominy, or perhaps renown, of being best known for writing the theme tune to TV show
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. And as we discover throughout the couple of hours of his show, there's much more to his back catalogue, with time spent in Nashville writing for others providing an anecdote or two to accompany the material.
