In short, it&#8217;s a song with a message and a meaning for everyone &#8211; never give up, and follow your dreams.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lee Gilbert is a very versatile performer. He works as a soloist, in a duo with a pianist, with an jazz quintet, and with a full seventeen piece Big Band. In 2008 he wrote &#8216;Come Fly With Me &#8211; The Big Band Musical&#8217;, in collaboration with Steven Coleman. The show, directed by Richard Tunley, had its premiere at the Wales Millennium Centre in 2009, and received critical acclaim. A full sized musical comedy, it featured a cast of fifteen, as well as a live Big Band every night. &#8216;Come Fly With Me&#8217; was also the subject of an ITV documentary, following its progress.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lee has toured nationally,\u00a0creating the role of Will Hay in the original production of Michael Bogdanov\u2019s \u2018Amazing Grace\u2019 written by Mal Pope, for the Wales Theatre Company. This year he&#8217;s been wowing audiences in Switzerland and was recently seen on Channel 4&#8217;s &#8216;Come Dine With Me&#8217; (Jan 2016).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Soar&#8217; was written and produced by Darren Parry, a multi-award winning Welsh singer songwriter. Darren was the 2004 UK Songwriting Champion, and runner up in the US &#8216;Song Of The Year&#8217; competition. Darren has songwriting awards from Billboard, Unison, and many others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Soar&#8217;\u00a0was recorded at Shabbey Road Studios in Caerphilly, South Wales and features\u00a0Al Steele, playing bass (amongst other instruments), Darren Parry playing keyboards\/backing vox, and\u00a0Rob Devereux on guitar.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8216;Soar\u201d is out now for download on <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/gb\/album\/soar-single\/id1073730855\" target=\"_blank\">iTunes<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/product\/B01AJWAFYY?ie=UTF8&amp;*Version*=1&amp;*entries*=0\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Find Lee Gilbert online on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/leemgilbert\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/LeeGilbertMusic\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, and his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leegilbertmusic.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\">website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F244874376&#038;auto_play=false&#038;hide_related=false&#038;visual=true&#038;show_comments=true&#038;color=false&#038;show_user=true&#038;show_reposts=false\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;Soar&#8217;, written by Darren Parry, is the new single from Welsh singer, Lee Gilbert.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18732,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[57,9],"tags":[1499,957,4842,77,370,4843,78,4844,956,2355],"class_list":["post-18730","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-artists","category-new-releases","tag-cardiff","tag-darren-parry","tag-lee-gilbert","tag-new-release","tag-new-single","tag-shabbey-road","tag-singer","tag-soar","tag-south-wales","tag-wales"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5yMhl-4S6","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":49093,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2019\/04\/brian-may-joins-rock-act-five-finger-death-punch-for-new-country-single-blue-on-black\/","url_meta":{"origin":18730,"position":0},"title":"Brian May Joins Rock Act Five Finger Death Punch For New Country Single &#8211;
