PAUL WILLIAMS LIVE IN BREA, CALIFORNIA

"On Valentine’s Day 2004, Paul performed two shows at the Curtis Theater in Brea, California. These shows were taped for a DVD that should be coming out this summer (See below). The theater was fairly small, holding about 200 people. It made the show feel very personal."

BUGSY MALONE DOCUMENTARY

31st December 2003

Last Updated 1st January 2004

On the 2nd June 2003 I was contacted by the production company with the following update

"The website has been taken down for the simple fact that we have finished filming the programme. We spent two weeks filming in America and caught up with Jodie Foster, John Cassisi, Scott Baio, Florrie Dugger - and of course Paul Williams (what a nice man.)

Since we returned we have been cracking on with the Bugsy edit. The programme is due for broadcast in August, but these things often change. I will confirm the date and time of transmission."

Finally on 15th December I got the news I had been waiting for:

Hi David
 
At last, I can confirm that the Bugsy documentary has a transmission date! The programme will be shown on ITV1 in the UK on New Years Eve (31st December 2003) at 3.50pm.

Hope you enjoy!

Richard Mortimer
Associate Producer
Yorkshire Television

I would love to hear from anyone else who saw it.

WE'VE ONLY JUST BEGUN

Last Updated 23rd May 2002

Back in 1970 a Demo album was released promoting a selection of songs by the newly formed writing partnership of Paul Williams and Roger Nichols. All the songs were sung by Paul Williams. Many of the songs appeared on subsequent Paul Williams solo albums. There are some great early versions of popular Paul Williams classics.

That album entitled 'We've Only Just Begun' has recently been released on import from Japan and can be purchased from Amazon here.
