Billy alternative musical arrangements

Post by patc »

Among the Forum members there are many, I am sure, who play various musical instruments. So, the purpose of this thread is encourage members to produce some alternative versions of the music from the show. To set the ball rolling here is an arrangement of Deep Into The Ground as performed by PELO (Patc Electric Light Orchestra :) ;) ):

I just tried playing some songs on the oboe... interesting! Electricity kindof works!
I could sing some, but slightly embarrassing!

You know, we should get together and put our own little Billy Elliot music version together - anyone up for it?

Great idea....I would sing something if only I had a camera to record it :?
What instrument do you play, Burtond?
We can make 'Billy Elliot the Orchestra' haha

OK Patc, I've created a little file but cannot seem to upload either to YouTube, Facebook or the Forum.

Can you help? The piece is called 'Music Box Letter'

Kind regards,

This is a really good idea Pat. I play piano :)

As for your version on the oboe, not quite my cup of tea, but still very creative :D
