An Evening With Kate & Nathan
In 2001, Nathan flew back from Germany to perform in a concert with close friend, Kate Roberts at the Riverside Barn in Walton-on-Thames. The concert was a great success, and the pair were asked to return to the Barn, later in the year to repeat the show for a further three nights.
The following tracks were recorded live during one of the performances.
This Is The Moment
From Bricusse and Wildehorn's Jekyll & Hyde this song denotes the moment when Jekyll decides to drink his ill-fated potion.

Suddenly Seymour
Here, Kate takes the role of Audrey, and Nathan plays Seymour in the Ashman and Mencken smash-hit musical, Little Shop of Horrors. Such a belting song made the perfect finale to an evening of musical theatre numbers.

We Can Be Kind
Nathan first came to know this song in a charity cabaret performed by the cast of Miss Saigon back in 1997. Written by New York writer, David Freedman, the cast later went on to release the song on an album of the same name, to raise money for the AIDS charity, West End Cares (See below). The song's beautiful sentiment made it the logical choice for an encore, as Kate and Nathan both wanted to send their audiences home with something important to think about.

West End Comes East
During his time in Les Miserables, Nathan was invited by fellow cast member, Nic Greenshields, to take part in a concert at the Kenneth More Theatre in Ilford. The cast was largely made up of current Les Mis-ers, and was a huge success. The live band and fabulous lighting really made the evening very special indeed, and both performances were completely sold out.
Starlight Express
Nathan sings the title song from the long-running and perennially popular roller-skating show, which ran in London for over thirteen years, and is still going strong in Germany today!
