Review: The Mamas & The Papas' hymn to the West Coast state California Dreamin' was actually written in chilly New York City by John and Michelle Phillips before they even formed the band that made them famous. Simon & Garfunkel were New York through and through and Simon's jaunty song about the Queensboro Bridge - aka Feelin' Groovy - uses its local colloquial name. Skeeter Davis, born Mary Frances Penick, was the survivor of a car crash that killed her singing partner Betty Jack Davis. They had enjoyed some success as The Davis Sisters but The End Of The World was the biggest hit of Skeeter's subsequent solo career. In My Room saw The Beach Boys moving indoors from all that sun and sand and recording one of their most reflective and lovely songs. Meanwhile the British invasion was threatening the pop status quo in America and Can't Buy Me Love, from the film Hard Day's Night, gave The Beatles yet another number one in the US charts.

Songlist: California Dreamin', Feelin' Groovy, The End of the World, In My Room, Can't Buy Me Love

Review: "Wonderful Christmastime" is a typical melodic Paul McCartney number composed for the holiday season. "All I Want For Christmas Is You" evokes Mariah Carey or, for devotees of the film Love Actually, the adolescent Olivia Olson. "Santa Baby" is Eartha Kitt's Christmas wish list from 1953 while "Little Saint Nick" is the Beach Boy's homage to Santa's sled. Finally and gloriously come the Pogue's sublime piece of musical domestic rivalry "Fairytale Of New York". All are expertly arranged for SSA choir with piano accompaniment and range from easy to intermediate level. This mix of fun and mischievous Christmas songs will put a smile on the faces of choirs and audiences alike.

Songlist: All I Want For Christmas Is You, Fairytale of New York, Little Saint Nick, Wonderful Christmastime, Santa Baby

Review: All I Ask Of You is the love song that triggers the Phantom of The Opera's jealous campaign of retribution in Andrew Lloyd Webber's legendary musical; Cliff Richard and Sarah Brightman took it for a spin in 1986 and had a hit single.Big Spender became even more popular than the 1966 musical from which it came - 'Sweet Charity' - and Shirley Bassey did much to popularise it later.Written specifically for Colm Wilkinson, Bring Him Home is the emotional song from Act II of Les Miserables while I Have A Dream is a no less emotional Abba number that is included in the record-breaking stage musical Mamma Mia.

Songlist: Bring Him Home, All I Ask Of You, Big Spender, I Have A Dream, The Last Night of the World
