Title: Strictly The Band
Post by Burstner55 on Nov 25^th, 2017, 7:12pm

I'm no Bill Cotton but surely the controller is missing out on the enormous appeal of a Christmas Special featuring the Strictly Orchestra and its singers.....compered by Anton du Bek? Perhaps we could have a tediously long running vote on this? Lance Ellington? Pure talent. Dave Arch? The new Mantovani?

Indeed-these guys have improved a lot over the years. The singers now get an on screen credit and Dave Arch's arrangements sure thump along. There was a Strictly CD music compilation a few years back-not available now >:( :(
