I might have missed out on that Glastonbury sing-a-long (not to mention the rest of Glastonbury, sob) but this week very happily involved a much more intimate Burt Bacharach karaoke session.
He was the 'surprise' guest at the opening night of new London show What's It All About? Bacharach Reimagined - a beaut of a tribute that features more than 30 of his biggest hits, and is heavy on the earworms.
As the show ended he joined the (v talented) cast (and their seven ukuleles) on stage for a rendition of Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head.
A bit cheesy? Pure Stilton - but a pretty 'magic moment' all the same (sorry, not sorry).
The show is definitely worth checking out, not least for the Menier Chocolate Factory, a lovely little venue it only took me ten years living in London to finally get to. Get your tickets here.
I got to chat to the legend that is Mr Burt Bacharach himself a couple of weeks ago, along with Kyle Riabko, the Canadian singer who co-created and stars in the show. You can read my interview here.
