Fantastic Christmas song from 'Astral Plane'

Yes, I know that I should have made this entry before Christmas Day but I had taken my eye off the ball, not appreciating that Kevin Romang and Silvia Plegniere had produced this marvellous video. If you follow this blog you will know that I've already featured some of the great music that Kevin and Silvia have produced and as this latest offering from them maintains their incredible standard well I couldn't resist adding it to the blog so readers can share it.

Prior to Christmas it will be recalled that there was a mighty tussle to see who could be number one in the Charts for Christmas 2009. I had to go to YouTube to hear what each of the two contenders was about! Big yawn! I hope that, like me, you will find "So Give unto Me" a great antidote to all the puffed up hype in the pop world.

Enjoy!

Kevin and Silvia with "You Were The One"

On Monday last week I posted a video of Kevin Romang and Silvia Plegniere (Astral Plane) with their interpretation of a Bellamy Brothers classic. At the same time I commented that they have written original compositions and here is an example "You Were The One" which I hope you will enjoy as much as I do. There is a section about half a minute long in the middle of the song when Silvia plays her guitar along with Kevin. This is guitar playing at its exquisite best for me.

I have plenty of videos to go on the blog other than the ones from 'Astral Plane'. But the quality of their music is so outstanding that I just couldn't stop myself from adding this one to highlight their composing as well as their playing!

Kevin and Silvia in perfect harmony

I have previously added videos to this blog of Silvia Plegniere playing music on her keyboard. Silvia has quite a few videos on YouTube as has English guitarist Kevin Romang. Both of these talented musicians saw each others work on YouTube and evidently thought how good it would be to become a duo. So happily for me 'Astral Plane' was formed. They are great songwriters in their own right but this is an old one and was a hit for The Bellamy Brothers. To me this rendition is perfect - simple, refreshingly direct and with Kevin and Silvia harmonising perfectly. It's the way music should be.

I'll be posting more videos of them in the months to come.
