    Britain’s Got Talent semi-finalist: Simon Cowell’s quote was she had a voice like “liquid gold” •40,000,000 hits on YouTube •78,000 Facebook followers Alice Fredenham first hit the public eye in 2013 as a contestant on Britain’s Got Talent where she absolutely wowed both the audience and the panel in her first performance singing ‘My Funny Valentine’ . Simon Cowells quote was she had a voice like “liquid gold” . Although Alice, to most people’s surprise, didn’t progress beyond the semi-finals, she built up a loyal, avid fanbase with her sultry powerful vocals and cool classic look and to date her BGT initial appearance has had over 40,000,000 hits on YouTube. Alice is a particular favourite with the American market. In 2015 Alice secured funding via Kickstarter, to a significant level, to record an album. “Under the Covers” was recorded at Real World and is a covers album (as per the Kickstarter campaign) with Alice’s personal take on a mix of classic tracks, both contemporary and standards and recorded with professional musicians The album features special guest on sax and flute Theo Travis.Sleevenotes include interviews with both Mark Nevin and singer Eddi Reader Based around the brilliant songwriting of founder Mark Nevin and the remarkable voice of Eddi Reader, Fairground Attraction established themselves overnight as one of the UK’s most popular bands of the late 1980s with the release of the classic single ‘Perfect’ and its parent album ‘The First Of A Million Kisses’. Both single and album won Brit Awards in 1989 and the band toured extensively, including a trip to Japan, and began preparing material for their follow up record. But within days of beginning to record that album, the band fell apart, never to reconvene. This release captures both the timeless, beautiful debut album and ten songs intended for its follow-up, including both live and never before heard studio recordings. Also included are a selection of newly unearthed demos including tracks destined for the ‘First Of A Million Kisses’ album, and two tracks which weren’t included on the final record.
