    This is so cool! Didn't think I'd find something this grand for such a relatively niche musical. I wish I knew who everyone was. It should really say everyone's names and who they played/play next to them.

    This was my song in our highschool performance. I’m gonna toot my own horn, I kinda killed it.
    Such great memories.

    Fun fact: Kathryn Douglas is now called Kathryn Davies and she’s the leader of the rock choir branch that my mum attends in our home town of Warrington, she was also leader of the junior rock choir that I was part of as part of Rock Choir Live at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall in 2019
    I remember the phil gigs really well because it was the week that Liverpool (the team I support) won the UEFA Champions league in Madrid and it came home for the 6th time

    I can’t stop watching this. It’s the best musical theatre collaboration I’ve seen during lockdown. Well done to everyone involved

      Love this rendition. Saw this musical in Canterbury when I started English literature a level in 1997. This is an underrated gem from the soundtrack. Happy Christmas and A Peaceful New Year to you all and thank you for brightening up the world with your joy

    I first saw this musical back in the Eighties. This is a really great rendition of one of the powerful songs in the show.

    I think this is quite awesome! I’m bass player in a run of BB coming up. This is petty inspiring for what the songs can sound like after hearing only the original versions from when it fist came out. Nice work!!!

    Absolutely stellar. I'm not a massive fan of musicals - yes, I know - but I really loved Blood Brothers, and together with Tell Me It's Not True, this is my favourite song. My musician brother was complaining to me about the difficulty of coordinating a musical duo via zoom. This shows that it can be done both powerfully and gorgeously. Thank you to everyone involved in this stunning piece. It's as good as the original, and in some ways even better: the characteristics of zoom have been used to great effect. I loved the guy with his baby, which you don't get in more conventional versions. It's my great pleasure to make a donation. Any chance of doing all of Blood Brothers in this way? When I was 14, one of my friends and I did a hugely speeded-up version of Guys and Dolls while walking 1 1/2 miles into town. Everyone thought we were crazy, but it was a lot of fun.

    Take a letter, miss jones quote
    I regret to inform you,
    That owing to circumstances
    Ouite beyond our control
    It's a premature retirement
    For those surplus to requirement
    I'm afraid it's a sign of the times, miss jones,
    Mr lyons/miss jones
    An unfortunate sign of the times
    Mr lyons
    Take a letter, miss jones,
    Due to the world situation
    The shrinking pound, the global slump
    Miss jones
    And the price of oil
    Mr lyons
    I'm afraid we must fire you
    We no longer require you
    It's just another
    Sign of the times, miss jones,
    Mr lyons/miss jones
    A most miserable sign of the times
    Mr lyons
    Take a letter miss jones:
    My dear miss jones, we'd like to thank you
    Many years of splendid service
    Etcetera blah blah blah
    You've been a perfect poppet
    Yes that's right miss jones, you've got it
    It's just another sign of the times,
    Miss jones, it's
    Just another sign of the
    Doleites
    Dry your eyes, miss jones
    It's not as bad as it seems you
    Get used to being idle
    In a year or two
    Unemployment's such a pleasure
    These days, we call it leisure
    It's just another sign of the times,
    Miss jones, it's
    Just another sign of the times
    Narrator
    There's a young man on the street, miss jones
    He's walkin' round in circles,
    He's old before his time
    But still too young to know
    Don't look at him, don't cry though
    This living on the giro
    Is only a sign of the times,
    Miss jones, it's
    Just another sign of the
    Doleites
    Miss jones,
    It's just another sign of the times...
