Disco-Sound Beim Leipziger Opernball: Jimmy Somerville Kommt Nach Leipzig Disco-Sound beim Leipziger Opernball: Jimmy Somerville kommt nach Leipzig Der Star-Act für den Leipziger Opernball am 10. September 2016 steht fest: Jimmy Somerville stellt auf der Hauptbühne im Opernsaal sein neues Album „Homage“ vor und wird natürlich auch seine Hits der 80er Jahre aufleben lassen. Disco und Opernball – das passt wunderbar zusammen, denn der gebürtige Schotte bringt das Berlin Show Orchestra mit, das seinen Songs einen ganz besonderen, modernen Sound verleihen wird. Jimmy Somerville wurde 1984 weltberühmt, als seine Band Bronski Beat mit „Smalltown Boy“ einen Riesenhit landete. Seitdem war der Synthie-Pop-Sound und Somervilles unverkennbarer Falsettgesang aus keiner Disco mehr wegzudenken. Auch heute noch, drei Jahrzehnte später, wippen die Füße zu den Takten von „Don’t leave me this way“ und „Never can say goodbye“, die er mit seiner zweiten Band The Communards veröffentlichte, beschwingt mit. Sein größter Erfolg als Solo-Künstler sollte 1989 „You make me feel (Mighty Real)“ werden. In seinem neuen Album „Homage“ widmet sich die selbsternannte Disco Diva den späten Siebzigern und beweist einmal mehr, wie zeitlos und absolut tanzbar seine Songs sind. Wir freuen uns sehr, dass Jimmy Somerville mit uns durch die Opernballnacht groovt. Das Berlin Show Orchestra rockt nicht nur mit Jimmy Somerville die Bühne, sondern sorgt auch danach noch für rauschende Tanzrunden im Dreivierteltakt - bis in die frühen Morgenstunden. Vom Deutschen Nachhaltigkeitspreis wurde das Ensemble als "greenest orchestra worldwide“ bezeichnet. Nachhaltig sind also nicht nur die knackigen Interpretationen von Walzer & Co. für die Ohren, sondern auch die klimaneutrale Arbeitsweise des Berlin Show Orchestras für das gute Gewissen. Reservieren Sie Ihre Karten für den Opernball Der 22. Leipziger Opernball, zum vierten Mal präsentiert von der Porsche AG, findet unter dem Motto „Let’s dance Dutch“ am 10. September 2016 wie gewohnt in der Oper Leipzig statt. Das hochkarätige Programm wird vom Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Solisten und Ensemblemitgliedern der Oper Leipzig gestaltet. Weitere Highlights sind die Verleihung des L.O.B. Fashion Awards und die große Tombola. Wir nehmen gern Ihre Tisch-und Flanierkartenbestellungen entgegen. Über alle Neuigkeiten rund um den 22. Leipziger Opernball informieren wir Sie wie gewohnt in unserem nächsten Newsletter.

  • Why I'm Not Going to the Church of Magnolia This Christmas on the Last Weekend Before Christmas There Seemed a Lot on TV That
    Why I’m not going to the Church of Magnolia this Christmas On the last weekend before Christmas there seemed a lot on TV that made an impact on the Riley household. The legend that is Spit the Dog, who sadly no longer visits our TV screens enough, was on BBC 1’s Pointless. ‘Take That’ danced like The Drifters on Strictly but for me and millions of others Gary, Jason and Mark still shone. A one hour special on the late great Rik Mayall saw moving footage of him sharing his personal ‘mantra’ for life with students from Exeter University but the summit of the weekends viewing was the Fern Britton interview with the Rev Richard Coles. Richard who? The Reverend Coles is one of the former founding members of The Communards (you’ll remember Jimmy Somerville) who after a career of sex, drugs and debauchery gave it all up, went to church, liked it and now is a Parish Priest in middle class rural Northamptonshire. He’s Gay too. Richard said two things of immense clarity that brought together much of the mixed emotions I hold over church, faith and religion. The first was that the ‘blandness of religion’ kept him away from Church for so long. The ‘magnolia message’ we hear at Church when so many people, young and old, seek and desire colour from the world goes a long way to explain for me and for many others why we are not rushing though the local chapel doors on a Sunday morning. Lots of us believe.

  • Jimmy Somerville - the Official Biography
    JIMMY SOMERVILLE - THE OFFICIAL BIOGRAPHY The unmistakable voice of Bronski Beat and The Communards, featured on massive hits such as Smalltown Boy and Don't Leave Me This Way – it can be none other than Jimmy Somerville. Bronski Beat not only introduced the world to Jimmy's unique voice, their debut smash hit Smalltown Boy tackled pertinent social issues with it’s lyric addressing the isolation and rejection felt by a provincial gay youth forced into leaving town. Although not the first pop song to deal with this topic, Bronski Beat’s chart friendly early 80's electronic dance sound and the everyday ordinariness and honesty of the three performers, made Smalltown Boy the biggest record about gay issues there'd ever been. Jimmy’s next band The Communards enjoyed a string of hits from their two hit albums Communards (1986) and Red (1987). One moment the Communards were hurtling to the number one spot - a position they held for weeks in the UK in 1986 - with their energetic, hedonistic cover version of the Philly soul classic Don't Leave Me This Way, the next stunning audiences into silent awe with their touching lament for a loved one lost to AIDS, For A Friend. 1989 saw Jimmy embark on a solo career with 5 more hit singles and two albums; Read My Lips (1989) and The Singles Collection (1990). These included a stirring cover of Sylvester's disco anthem You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real). Jimmy's continued outspokenness on gay issues didn't prevent his records being played and selling in huge quantities.

The books have all been published in print, and many of them may also be found as e-books. Separate sections contain memoirs, novels, plays, and children’s and teen books. Several LGBT popular music-related DVDs are also listed. Each book and DVD has a link to the OCLC WorldCat record (when available) where you can see which libraries hold the item.

  • Somerville, Jimmy (B
    Somerville, Jimmy (b. 1961) by Shaun Cole Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Jimmy Somerville. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Courtesy Solar Management Ltd. Noted for his diminutive size and amazing voice, Jimmy Somerville first shot to fame in the mid-1980s as the lead singer with the openly gay pop group of the time, Bronski Beat. Bronski Beat's first single, "Smalltown Boy," which, along with its video, dealt with the problems of being gay in provincial Britain, was an instant success (reaching number three in the UK pop charts) and quickly established the group's reputation. Born in Glasgow on June 22, 1961, Somerville was twenty-three when he formed Bronski Beat in 1984 as a collaboration with Steve Bronski and Larry Stenbachek. The three musicians met while they were working on a video by young gay men and lesbians entitled Famed Youth. It was during this project that Somerville realized that he could sing. Bronski Beat's debut album Age of Consent (1984) included a pink triangle on the cover and listed the age of consent for gay sex in European countries on the inside sleeve as a means of calling attention to the disparity between British and Continental laws at that time. Consisting of a series of songs dealing with various aspects of gay life, the album sold more than a million copies. In 1985 Bronski Beat teamed up with another gay singer, Marc Almond, to record a version of Donna Summer's "I Feel Love," which was also a hit.
