Gari Glaysher's 'Serenata' CD Launch Party 26th June, 09

Hi friends,




On friday the 26th July i attended the CD launch party for our friend Gari Glaysher's beautiful debut album 'Serenata', with my sister Teresa and Brother in law Keith. The party was at 'El Patio', a lovely restaurant in Bromley owned by Gari's dear friend and sponsor Enzo. The restaurant was full of wonderful people who came along to honour Gari, he was surrounded by family, friends and supporters and it was just heartwarming to see. Gari came onto the stage and felt very emotional as you would expect on such a special day for him. Gari thanked everyone for coming and called onto the stage one by one, Enzo, his best friend and manager Tony and Tony Momrelle who helped produce the album, thanking them for all their love, support and help, presenting them with a gift bag each. I have to say the two Tonys are really wonderful too and i am so glad Gari has them on his team. Unexpectedly he also presented his dear friend and myspace official fansite lady, Jo and myself with a gift bag too, thank you once again Gari, a lovely thought by Lin and yourself and most appreciated.



The most beautiful moment came when Gari thanked his incredible wife Lin for all her love and support, getting him to where he is today, a perfect couple.


Gari sang songs from the CD, dedicating personal favourites to family and friends and also sang duets 'Nella Fantasia' and 'Con Te Partiro' with his dear friend, the amazing soprano Rebecca Watson.

In between songs and throughout the night, Gari signed lots of CDs for everyone, it was great to see them all being sold. It was a night of lovely memories, so nice to see some friends from the O2 concert and Jo again and also to meet a few new friends from Gari's appreciation groups.

A special moment was when Gari rang Amy Gabrielson in California, the very talented lady and friend who runs his official site www.gariglaysheronline.net and created the amazing artwork for the CD, Gari is so proud of her. When Amy answered, completely taken aback, we all let out huge cheers in appreciation for all her hard work and dedication and to let her know we all wished she was there with us and we hadn't forgotten her. A very cute moment indeed.

Another lovely touch was when Gari impromptly serenaded another superb soprano and friend Sharon Selman, who had broken down on her way from London to attend the party and had to spend half the night looking out for the repair man and missing most of it, with 'A Vucchella' her favourite. I think that helped cheer her up a little and it was lovely to meet you at last Sharon.

So a beautiful and special night all round and i was so glad to be there to witness it. Gari has amazing, supportive family and friends and we are all willing him on to greater heights as he deserves and 'Serenata' is just the beginning.

Please join us in support by buying this romantic and beautiful album, which includes many favourites and two special songs with lyrics written for Gari by Cristina Pavarotti no less, music by A Bellantani. Buy it for your friends and family too as gifts and pass the word to more friends around the world, so the word speads more and more.

Thank you as always.

Love Rose
