almond has a song called white flowers of acacia
Intoxicating white flowers of acacia Are once again in full bloom And the song of a nightingale Is heard through the evening Under a silent bright shining moon The years have all past and the passion didn't last And the youth of our lives are long gone But to the beautiful white flowers of acacia My throughts will always belong not same thing, i know, but, ..... |

pet shop boys, bright young things
[Verse 1] Lucy's wearing vintage Boys in rented tux Safety pins for cuff links Please dance with me The party's still in full swing And you're such a bright young thing [Verse 2] Nancy's got a monkey On a silver chain Pose for Stephen's camera Then dance with me Forget what the future brings Surrounded by bright young things [Pre-Chorus] Sometimes a party's a port in a storm No one feels weary Or lost and forlorn [Chorus] Listen the nightingale sings In Berkeley Square The bright young things Are flying on chemical wings Intent on their one last flings Tonight [Interlude] It's time It's time It's time It's time [Bridge] When I get you home there'll be sunlight on your bed Close your eyes and drift off imagining The promise of a diamond ring You the queen and I your king [Pre-Chorus] Sometimes a party's a port in a storm You won't feel weary Or lost and forlorn [Chorus] Listen the nightingale sings In Berkeley Square The bright young things Are flying on chemical wings Share with me one last fling Tonight [Outro] It's time Bright young things Bright young things Nightingale sings how very odd, eh? |

Hope this is more relevant Glasgae. I believe it was New Yeas Eve 2005. I cant find video but Marc Almond appeared.
Kate Rusby, KT Tunstall, Chris Difford, Irma Thomas, Goldfrapp, James Blunt, Robin Gibb, Marc Almond, Corinne Bailey Rae, Ruby Turner and the Kaiser Chiefs. |

You are extremely unlikely to hear a Nightingale sing anywhere in London.

More likely Ian Hunter tbh Glasgae, he does it here.........

Thanks Saddo, it was definitely on Jools Show, New years eve sounds right, I would bet on it being Marc Almond.
Liked the Ian Hunter version. |

Ian Hunter also appeared that night in 2005 (or Mott the Hoople maybe)

I wondered if it was too far back. Hunter definitely sang it that night
A critique Ian Hunter (Mr Mott The Hoople) can's sing anymore though can he? Although I did like "A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square", |

@saddo is right according to the BBC's track listing for the 2004 hootenanny.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p006yy9x Ian Hunter A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square FEAT JOOLS HOLLAND. The BBC also gives track listings for Jools's Later With series so if you want to work through them... |
