I hope this includes rare stuff such as songs from La Strada and Costa Packet.

There was a show of his music, along the lines of 'Side By Side', staged at the Queens Theatre Hornchurch 2 years ago.
It had fantastic reviews and most said they were surprised at the quality of his forgotten and unknown music.
The show is still on hold with a producer for a London run.
