The Promise is available from Amazon UK for just £8.98 or The Promise: Luxury Edition/+DVD for just £17.98. (Free delivery over £5.00)

Here is what Amazon say:

"Il Divo, the multi-million selling classical crossover malevocal group, have recorded another accomplished and assuredrecord in 'The Promise'. As is now traditional with this fledgling genre, a range of pop standards are tackled in epic close harmony and with semi-orchestral arrangements - this time around we hear the likes of Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah'(undoubtedly influenced by Jeff Buckley's seminal interpretation), Abba's 'The Winner Takes It All' and even Frankie Goes To Hollywood's 'The Power Of Love'. At the centre of thisrecord is a bold attempt to deliver a more refined style ofmusic to its audience, but with enough accessibility to still hit the right pop notes."

Track list:
1. The Power Of Love (La Fuerza Mayor)
2. La Promessa
3. Adagio
4. Hallelujah (Aleluya)
5. The Winner Takes It All (Va Todo Al Ganador)

London Fireworks at New Year 2008

I took my children to London over the New Year and for the first time ever, was in Central London with the crowd of tens of thousands. I am ashamed to say as a Londoner that I had never done this before but this year made the effort to watch the live fireworks show over the river around the London Eye and Big Ben.

Here is someone's video posted on YouTube:


If you ever have a chance, go to London over New Year. You can arrange all your travel on EuroTravel.
