What's New?

Daniel has the ''perfect blend''...

Posted 17th April 2013

[« back to news]

Daniel has recently been chosen as the new voice of the iconic theme tune to the Australian soap Neighbours.

Daniel entered a Channel 5 competition 'Neighbours Remixed' and was voted for by the British public as the UK representative to fly to Melbourne and go head to head with Australian winner Stephanie Angelini. Both got to record their versions as well as meeting the cast and touring the sets.

The judges, including Barry Crocker who was the original voice of the theme tune, could not decide between the two and so decided it was a draw. The theme song is now be a duet for the first time with Daniel being the first ever Brit to sing this famous tune.

“I am over the moon to have won this competition. I grew up watching Neighbours (and still watch it daily) so to think I am now the voice of such an iconic theme tune is totally surreal. Thank you to everyone who voted for me – it was an amazing trip and one that I will treasure for a long time.”

Daniel can be heard singing the song on Channel 5, weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm.

''Make Some Noise For Daniel Boys''...Again!!

Posted 18th March 2013

[« back to news]

Daniel needs your votes again! Not Joseph this time, but to be the new voice of the Neighbours theme tune!

The search for a new solo singer for the Neighbours theme tune has entered a new stage today (March 18) as Channel 5 has revealed the top five UK finalists and Daniel is one of them.

As announced last month, the Ashes-style 'Neighbours Remixed' competition is pitting Britain against Australia in a hunt for a new vocalist to record a revamped version of the iconic theme song.

Channel 5 now invite you to pick an overall UK winner, who will fly to Melbourne and face a head-to-head sing-off with the Australian winning representative.

Each finalist's entry will be played over Neighbours' current opening title sequence on Channel 5 this week, with Daniel's entry being played on Thursday.

Once all five have been broadcast, the public will be invited to choose their favourite singer in an online poll and the finalist with the most votes will head down under for the sing-off.

Greg Barnett, Channel 5's Commissioning Editor for Entertainment, Daytime and Soaps, said: "I'm delighted we had such interest and support for 'Neighbours Remixed'. We had a very hard job whittling the entrants down to our top five, but each of them would bring something unique and special to the Neighbours theme, and I'm convinced any of our finalists could beat the Aussies!"

Daniel's and the four other finalists' entries can be found at the 'Neighbours Remixed' website, where you can also back Daniel when voting opens at 5.35pm on Friday, March 22.

Visit www.neighboursremixed.com

You have until the 28th March to vote.

Daniel says ''I'm very excited by this competition. I have always been a fan of the show and to represent the UK would be an honour and also incredibly exciting. Please feel free to facebook, tweet, email your friends/followers etc and get them voting too. Thank you in advance.''

"Neighbours, everybody needs good neighbours..."
