This Friday, The Curtain Up Show announces the Best Solo Album and Best Cast Recording of 2015, as chosen by the team at Resonance FM. Tim McArthur and Nathan Matthews will be playing a track from each of the nominated albums, and revealing the winners in both categories.
Tim and Nathan said “Every week on The Curtain Up Show we play some of our favourite show tunes. We have the BRIT Awards celebrating just about every other genre of music, but what about the wonderful British talent performing on stages across London every night? And so we’re launching the Album of 2015 to recognise this phenomenal talent. To be honest, all the albums we’ve nominated are worth celebrating. It was a very tough job trying to single out a winner!”
