So, at last I'm aurally satiated (and not just thanks to McAlmont and Nyman). There's more - and here's a thing - David McAlmont has a hand in it as well. He has also been writing for Shirley Bassey. The Performance is an album of songs written for the Dame from Tiger Bay by Richard Hawley, KT Tunstall, Rufus Wainwright, Gary Barlow, Tenant and Lowe, Barry and Black and Barry and Arnold.
