News:
Noel Harrison has announced a series of live dates at venues close to his home in Devon, Britain.
The show, called The Windmills of His Mind, has been described as "moving and splendid" by reviewers.
An advert for the show added: "Noel sings from the heart and soul.
"His eclectic choice of songs has been carefully picked from all the best
composers of many genres, French chansons, country, rock, pop and
standards. There are even some of his own witty compositions, all beautifully mixed with amusing comments and terrific audience rapport.
"You may think you know his most famous song, Windmills of Your Mind, but each time he sings it, it’s different. A truly remarkable performer."
To see the dates go to the Live dates page. The dates were announced through Noel's official site.

News:
The film which Noel was making when Windmills of Your Mind received its Oscar has finally been released on DVD.
Noel was working with Oliver Reed and Hayley Mills on Take a Girl Like You when the Oscar was announced. Because of filming commitments, he could not go to the ceremony so the song was instead performed by Jose Feliciano.
Until now, the film has only been available on long-since deleted VHS tapes. It was released on DVD on Monday November 24, 2008 through the website moviemail-online.
The advert for the film says: "Jonathan Miller adapts Kingsley Amis's 1960 novel about Jennifer Bunn, a pretty, 20-year-old schoolteacher who is determined to remain a virgin until her marriage - much to the frustration of Patrick (Oliver Reed), who falls for her and pursues her."
The DVD costs £11.99. For more details on the film, go to the film and TV page.

News:
A record containing a series of radio adverts put together by Reprise Records to promote the album Santa Monica Pier in America has surfaced.
The adverts were probably intended to boost Noel's popularity following the success of Windmills of Your Mind, which was released just after Santa Monica Pier.
The adverts all use lengthy clips from songs on the album, but bizarrely, the best track, I Shall Remember, was not used.
One of the four adverts was included as the bonus track on the compilation Life is a Dream, but the others have not been heard widely for the past 40 years. Click the links below to hear them now.

Site update:
The site has been updated to include a new singles section. If you know any singles which are missing, please mention them in the forum.
There is also a new section looking at Noel's film and TV work.
The biography section has also been improved and the site can now be accessed by a shorter, address: www.noelharrison.co.nr as well as the old www.noelharrison.googlepages.com.
Details for several Noel albums not yet featured on the site are also being put together and will be published soon.
