`BRING HIM HOME` – TRACK BY TRACK WITH ALFIE:



Bring Him Home (from Les Miserables) - This is the big iconic song from Les Miserables and a close one to me. It`s the first song that I ever sang in public when I was a 14-years-old in an amateur company in my home town of Fleetwood. Three years ago I sang it at the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall.

Pure Imagination (from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory) – This is the song when Willy Wonka walks into the chocolate factory and lets everyone go wild. I think it would be really cool to start off a concert with this song.

Come What May (from Moulin Rouge) – I chose this because of my connection with Baz Luhrman, and because it was a good opportunity to sing a duet with Kerry Ellis who has a beautiful voice.

On The Street Where You Live (from My Fair Lady) – Everybody loves this! It`s an iconic musical theatre song and I used to sing it when I was a teenage boy. It`s the scene where Freddy has spotted Eliza Doolittle at the race track and waits for her outside Henry Higgins`s house.

We Have All The Time In The World – This is from the James Bond film On Her Majesty`s Secret Service. It`s incredibly sad because it comes just after Bond`s new bride, Diana Rigg, dies after being shot in the Aston Martin. We chose it because we were looking for something different: a song that was not musical theatre and had a different angle.

The Impossible Dream (from Man Of La Mancha) - This is my big moment with Matt Lucas! It`s a great song from a musical about Don Quixote that`s been used in commercials quite a lot. I don`t think it`s been done as a duet before but it works really well.

Hushabye Mountain (from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang) – This is the other song I chose for my daughter Grace, it`s a beautiful lullaby.

Tell Me It`s Not True (from Blood Brothers) – This is actually a female song but I was determined not to let that stop me covering it because it`s a wonderful song from a great show. It comes at a very sad point at the end, so it`s very emotional, with a choral feel.

Some Enchanted Evening (from South Pacific) – This is from another of my favourite musicals. I`ve loved it ever since I saw the film as a kid and I think the score is incredible. I`d like to dedicate it to Sir Cameron Mackintosh, because I know it`s one of his favourite shows too.

As If We Never Said Goodbye (from Sunset Boulevard) – This is another female song, sung by the Norma Desmond character who was played onstage in the West End and on Broadway by Elaine Page. But It`s an incredible song and I don`t think it’s been sung by many male performers.

If I Loved You (from Carousel) – This is from yet another of my favourite shows! I`m such a big fan of this area of musical theatre and it is a wonderful song to sing and very classically orchestrated.

If I Ruled The world (from Pickwick) – I think people associate this song with Harry Secombe who did a very good version of this which was a hit for him in 1963 and a great song.
