Damian Wilson and his "Les Miserables" partner Alex Sharpe singing 'John Lennon -- Grow Old With Me',
accompanied by the Sheffield Youth Orchestra.

Quote:

ALBUM: Disciple

Whatever Damian does in life, this lavishly presented double album will always be dear to his heart.
It is a highly personal album, written about family relationships.
The story of how the album came about is told in the accompanying booklet,
beautifully illustrated by his two boys.
The songs are mostly accompanied by the very special Sheffield Youth Orchestra,
who were invited to accompany Damian and Alex Sharpe in singing John Lennon's
‘Grow Old With Me’ at the famous Abbey Road Recording Studios in London.
This day was filmed and broadcast by the BBC.
So successful was this venture, that the orchestra subsequently played on various tracks of Disciple.
The result is astounding and very beautiful.

Okay   Did find a track from Alex in the role of Eponine in Les Miserables,
It's a track where all women can be heard  that  played the role of Eponin ......okay it is short but only 10  seonds but here's how you really can hear her vocal cords to have to use force.
The song is On My Own.
At 5.10 minutes into the track, her picture with her voice.

I wish I had access to the whole song! That clip doesn't play nearly enough to satisfy my curiosity about her singing as Eponine.

I noticed in this version of "Grow Old With Me" by Alex and Damian, they changed the words slightly
from Lennon's original lyrics.

They sing:

"Spending our lives together
Man and wife forever"

Lennon sings:

"Spending our lives together
Man and wife together"

It's ironic that this was his last solo.....here's the Master singing his own song:
