George Hook Duets

George Hook Duets with pals all in the Name of Charity.

                                               

 

George Hook, broadcaster and rugby pundit has taken on one of the biggest challenges of his life. He has been in the recording studio to sing for COMBER, a special Charity he truly believes in. George has been a patron of Comber for many years and it is his sincere hope that his efforts in the studio will raise much needed funds and bring media attention to the plight of these 'forgotten' young people.

 

George has teamed up with Executive Producer Bill Hughes and Producers Ronan Johnston and Larry Hogan and together they have selected eleven wonderful tracks to make up this special album. Of the chosen songs, eight are duets with some of Ireland's best known singers including  Dana in playful and flirtatious mode on Goodness Gracious Me, Brian Kennedy with a moving and poignant rendition of Human, Jack L in powerhouse form on Mack the Knife, Marc Roberts adding beautiful and affecting harmonies on First We Take Manhattan, Emma O'Driscoll in cheeky form on These Boots Are Made For Walking and the wonderful Eleanor McEvoy, who has written a new song with Paul Brady 'Is That Love?'  Also in the line up is George's rugby nemesis Brent Pope with some good-natured ribbing on You've Got A Friend In Me and soccer pundit Johnny Giles with solid support on Sixteen Tons.

 

George also performs as a solo artist with How Oft Do My Thoughts (The Banks), You Were Always On My Mind and he gives a stirring and breathtaking vocal on the Henry Higgins rant from My Fair Lady – A Hymn To Him.

 

It’s not only an ideal Christmas gift but proceeds are going to a really good cause.

 

The album was released on the RTÉ label on November 13th.
 

Comber was established by Irish volunteers in 1992 in response to media coverage of the appalling conditions in orphanages in Romania. During the 1990s Comber completely refurbished four orphanages and provided over 500 multi disciplinary Irish volunteers to work with Romanian children and their carers. Currently the charity is actively supporting the closure of all remaining adult institutions in Giurgiu County and the provision of appropriate homes in the community for those still living in care. For further information on Comber please contact Comber Head Office at
