All Angels

Four very different teenage girls. One shared passion for music.

MELANIE NAKHLA, CHARLOTTE RITCHIE, LAURA WRIGHT, DAISY CHUTE

In the autumn of 2006, the four teenage members of All Angels were a phenomenon-in-waiting, about to deliver their debut album to an unsuspecting world. A year later, they can justly claim to be the World's First Female Classical Supergroup. They performed at the Classical Brits, where their debut album was nominated for Album Of The Year, and were watched by 10 million viewers when they sang in front of the Queen at the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall. They've shared stages with Russell Watson and Katherine Jenkins, and have unleashed their collective lung-power in support of the England rugby team at several crucial international matches. Their first album was the UK's fastest-selling debut for a classical act, and won them a platinum disc. Now they're eager to find out if their follow-up can do even better.

The West Sound Burns Supper, now in its 23rd year is considered the best Burns Supper in the world and one of the most highly regarded events in the Scottish Winter Calendar. The event is one of the first in the Burns Calendar allowing us to record the evening, edit for transmission and broadcast on Burns Night, 25th January.
Organised by the local radio station from the bard’s hometown of Ayr and held in Glasgow, the event takes all the usual ingredients of a Burns Supper but adds its own “joy de vie” to create an atmosphere filled with passion, compassion and good cheer as the gathering remember the genius that is Robert Burns.

Hi Shauna, Roger and Everybody,

I have been looking around for any news articles on the event over the past few days but nothing yet.

I have however found this on the West Sound home page.

The 23rd West Sound Burns Supper was held on Saturday 19th January, 2008, at the Thistle Hotel in Glasgow. The event has already been hailed as a great success and an excellent night was had by all. You can hear highlights of the evening between 8pm and 10pm on Burns Night, Friday 25th January.

Here are some quotes about this year's event:

"...you have every right to pat yourself on the back because it was a very happy evening and that doesn't just happen by accident."

"You should be very proud that...you and your team organised such a superb event, well done!!"

"We and our guests had a fantastic evening on Saturday, the entertainment, speakers, singers were all first class!"

"Speakers were great, music and singers were fantastic and the night had a touch of class and professionalism to it."

"First class, def the funniest Burns Supper I’ve ever been to"

West Sound does have a listen live feature on their website so that we can all listen to the highlights, which will hopefully include All Angels, this friday between 8pm and 10pm.

Until yesterday, there were photographs from last years event on the site, so hopefully we might see some photographs from this years event soon as well.

Hi Roger and Dazza,

Daisy sent me a message on Facebook because I asked her how it went, she said that it went brilliantly but Laura wasn't there cos of college commitments, so there was only the 3 of them. Daisy also said that she arranged 3 new Scots songs, obviously relating to Burns.

She said it was quite scary doing 3 songs for the first time and with only the 3 of them, but it worked out in the end. She also mentioned what Dazza has said above, about it being on the West Sound website.

Apparently there is a lot of talking beforehand, and they are about 3/4 of the way through, and then back at the end to lead Auld Lang Syne.

Hi Shauna,

Thanks for that.

I saw Daisy's message on your facebook when it appeared in my news feed.

It is very interesting that she has arranged the three Scottish songs for them, it is certainly going to be worth listening out for on Friday.
