Escala Through To Britain’s Got Talent Final
The attractive, female violin quartet, Escala, went through to the Britain’s Got Talent final last night, and deservedly so as they were great.
But one comment made by Simon and Piers really rankled with me. They both said the act was “original”. Original? Presumably they haven’t heard of Bond then, the other, well established, foursome of sexy girls on stringed instruments? Escala were very good but in no way could they be described as original as far as I can tell. And just in case you weren’t sure of the Bond homage, notice the song they did: “Live and Let Die” - a James Bond theme song.

Everybody keeps comparing Escala to Bond, but two things come to mind when this comparison is made;
Firstly, i have never seen Bond play an electric instrument, & secondly Bond have never sounded as good as Escala did.
I feel the only comparison is that they are both full of hot women that enjoy classical music!
Generally speaking though, I know that i would buy an Escala album tomorrow, but Bond…Not so much!
