Brian Wilson: Canadian Tour
TOUR STARTS JUNE 15 IN KITCHENER, ONTARIO
![]() Brian Wilson |
Brian Wilson will embark
on his first-ever cross-Canada tour in
June of 2011. For many Canadians, the tour represents their first opportunity to directly experience
and pay homage to this unrivaled mainstay of the cultural soundtrack. Audiences can look forward
to a musical tour de force as Wilson performs his latest critically acclaimed album Brian Wilson Reimagines
Gershwin in its entirety, along with a selection of classics from both the Brian Wilson and
Beach Boys back-catalogues.
“I’ve always tried to make music that entertained people,” Wilson said. “I also wanted my music to
last, to be able to speak to any generation. Thankfully, nearly 50 years since the Beach Boys were
born, that seems to have come true. Now, with this album a new musical chapter begins for me,
and it’s going to be a chapter to remember. I promise.”

Booming brilliant
For those wishing perhaps their sat navs had a more distinctive voice than the spookily smooth tones normally associated with the mapping device, here’s something a million miles away.
There’s a British actor called Brian Blessed, whose king-sized stature and voice has been booming out of television screens and from stages for decades.
It appears a Facebook campaign attracted 25,000 people who pressed for the Shakespearian-toned one to record driving instructions with his, well, vast voice and TomTom has released his sat nav recording today (5 November).
Brian’s instructions include gems such as:
“Toll Charge. Give them the exact money and tell them to keep the change” and ”You’ve reached your destination. Congratulations. Onwards and upwards!”
A motorist from Manchester launched a Facebook group to make driving more ‘shouty’, called: “Campaign to get Brian Blessed to do a voice over for my sat nav”.
After more than 25,000 people signed up, TomTom and the actor agreed to record the voice in what is thought to be a first for creating a product through social media.
It’s impossible to get a flavour of Brian’s full vocal range without listening to the great man himself, so here’s a quick clip to show off his sat nav talents.
