OK, so I really cannot get this song off my media centre!

Michael Ball’s version of “A Boy From Nowhere” (originally from the 1991 musical Matador) is absolutely amazing!! I currently have the volume cranked up as high as it will go, and the song on repeat whilst singing along wildly hehe!

This YouTube video doesn’t really do the performance justice really – the .mp3 is much cleaner , and the sweeping song bridges sound awesome. The song can be found on Ball’s album A Song For You.

And if you’re especially interested, Tom Jones recorded a version of the song for the musical’s concept album prior to it’s staging on the West End stage. I must say, although the song also suits Jones’ voice, Ball’s version has that real kick in the bollocks factor which throws you to the back of the room and makes you shout “wow!” in my opinion hehe.
