"WELL MY TIME IS NOW", he loved that bit.

As did I. Perfectly summed up the moment.

Thanks Robert!

[@anitacambell-houston4048]

Stumbled across this and think we need to hear more from Cliff, can see the happiness in his face while singing the song.

[@victoriabright7071]

Is it wrong to have a tiny crush on this fella ❤ Brilliant !

[@just_passing_through]

Perfectly understandable. To be honest, I think I do too. 👍

[@just_passing_through]

I literally can’t stop coming back. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@doughhead123]

Every sat night we are back to hear these classical 80s songs, my God wish we could've seen these live.

[@briangriffiths114]

Summary from his Wiki page: "Cliff Masterson is an orchestrator, conductor, songwriter, arranger and music producer. " They seem to have omitted he is also a great vocalist.

[@mahelebg2727]

Since the 1st time I saw him I knew that this conductor was someone very special.

[@dougle03]

I had to give my tickets away to a good friend as Mum was poorly. So sorry I missed this; Cliff looks like he was having the best time ever ❤

[@Wellygigs]

Just got back from the 2024 gig. Epic line up, epic orchestration,epic backing singers , and the audience,……….. well they where EPIC.

Cliff just conducted a film score session for me last week. A gem of a man, and so gifted.

[@grahamwhittam9243]

Wow what a voice loved it 😀

Just wow! I can imagine how it would sound if you were there.

[@darcyd4911]

simply outstanding rendition of the awesome John Parr St Elmos Fire. Darcy Dinshaw, 80 DJ, take Off disco-Bombay

[@mary-kittybonkers2374]

At the beginning of the video I was thinking, ‘I know that intro🤔’…then he starts singing….fantastic.

[@barrybradfordlocksport]

Better version than the original!

[@joannacarter9988]

Is this concert available on DVD? If not, it should be. I'd buy it in an instant.

[@mutleyb9385]

Well done excellent!😊

[@gjones7547]

Fantastic!

[@andydean4426]

[@PJay-wy5fx]

LOL, he gave himself away! So much for the myth that an orchestra cannot play without a conductor ;-). Jokes aside, lovely performance

[@stephmcd]

Anymore videos of Cliff singing?

[@80sClassical]

Not yet..... 😎

[@martinadams5893]

He reminds me of Greg Davies.

[@Joe-bx4wn]

Im 24 AGAIN! 💧😢

[@dariuszturecki6635]

Who was conducting? 😀

[@jonathanp896]

My guess is the orchestra is receiving a click track through their earpierces.

[@jivebunny3765]

I'll be honest. This song has been ruined by that paragliding goat. People in the UK will understand.

[@robertmuckle2985]

Too bad his vocal mic is mostly only coming through the monitors.😒
