WELCOME to a brand new Bar Grooves set. I hope you enjoy it.

Our cover artist is Anglo-American vocalist Peyton. Listen to the voice and you won’t be surprised to learn that he comes from a strong gospel background http://www.myspace.com/theofficialpeytonmusic in fact he aptly describes himself as “son of a preacher man”. See the face and anyone in the UK may recognise him from the local version of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy (sadly the UK re-make was never quite as good as the US original – why?) This uplifting track sets the mood for the whole mix with The Temple Dynasty’s “Keep rising” also cut from the gospel mould http://www.myspace.com/templedynasty.

I’m a lover of most kinds of music, and so don’t be surprised when I tell you I’m a fan too of American Idol. David Archuleta’s performance this week will take some beating http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovborwDaooQ . Meanwhile here in London we’re building up to the Eurovision Song Contest in May. Andy Abraham’s winning song was my personal favourite http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWnQ_81n3YE though on balance I guess Michelle Gayle’s entry http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiiwGioO4YE would probably have had a better chance of winning. Let’s see if we can narrowly avoid “nil points” once more.
