kreacher Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 (edited) I was poking around on Michael Holbrook Penniman's discogs.com page and noticed this: Various – BBC A Taste Of Music - Music From The BBC Tv Series More images Label: BBC Worldwide – V1021 Format: CD, Compilation Country: UK Released: 1997 Rick Stein: A Taste Of The Sea 1 Various– Men Of The Sea 4:34 2 Mandy Wilson– Padstow 2:54 3 Véronique Joly– Marseilles 2:42 4 Various– Evening 1:55 5 Various– Blenheim 2:04 6 Various– Reflections 1:06 7 Various– Men Of The Sea (Instrumental) 3:44 Carluccio's: Italian Feast 8 Mica Penniman*– An Italian Feast 5:26 9 Various– Hills And Villages 5:36 10 Mica Penniman*– A Passion For Italy 10:54 Far Flung Floyd 11 Various– Far Flung Floyd 2:36 12 Various– Vietnam 3:24 13 Various– Samui 3:38 Floyd On Italy 14 Various– Floyd On Italy 3:16 15 Various– Sicily 2:50 16 Various– Umbria To Venice 4:58 Floyd On Africa 17 Nsimba Bitendi– Floyd On Africa 0:48 Rick Stein: Taste Of The Sea 18 Various– Men Of The Sea (Radio Mix) 2:50 At first I thought FAAAAAKE but then i remembered... didn't Mika say he sang for a British cooking show when he was a kid? *checks Mikapedia* OMG HE DID! So i poked around and haven't found any more information about these 2 songs. But I did find the CD on ebay for £18.00. If i wasn't so poor right now I'd totally buy it and see. I'm worried some rando will buy it and we'll never know what these songs sound like! Edited December 13, 2023 by kreacher 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for checking for more copies of it, i hadn't even thought of doing that. There's this one too sold by a German seller: A Taste of Music CD Platz 2808 | eBay Price: EUR 3.42 Edited December 12, 2023 by kreacher 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellody Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 On 12/12/2023 at 4:38 AM, kreacher said: Not sure where else to put this... it involves YOUNG MIKA and i didn't find a thread for YOUNG MIKA SONGS so If there isn't one, just create one! I've moved the discussion here. If someone wants to go searching, I think you could also post Mika's performance of Little Donkey here, that was shown on some TV show. And we already have 2 threads about The Pilgrim's Progress. and And one about the Orbit chewing gum commercial, but I think we don't have the original of that, only what he shared about it in interviews. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kreacher Posted December 13, 2023 Author Share Posted December 13, 2023 (edited) Here’s Little Donkey from his 2015 Vivement Dimanche special! https://content.invisioncic.com/r259115/monthly_2022_06/925402109_2015_06.16LedivandeMarcOlivierFogielFrance3_TheLittleRoadToBethlehem.mp4.2b1fdac800378a2bc554362f48e15e58.mp4 here’s The Little Road To Bethlehem from Mika’s interview on Le Divan in 2015 Watching all these back I’m so thankful someone had the foresight to film all these little bits of little Mika singing, even back when to film stuff you needed a whole separate device. And that people have shared them Thanks Karin for opening this thread for me! Even after being on MFC for like 12 years I still feel weird opening threads Edited December 13, 2023 by kreacher 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screenshot: The same song/music is used in another video with Carluccio about Piedmont cuisine. But I don't see young Mika in it. In the final credits they mention the music from Crocodile Music which is the name of the YouTube account with the video you posted. It looks like a music created for Carluccio's series about Italian kitchen. There is a playlist on Dailymotion channel. Each part starts with Mika's voice. https://www.dailymotion.com/playlist/x284at And another one for Lombardy. Hmm, it looks like embedding the links doesn't work. And another one.

NaoMika Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 JFYI: War Child at Peterborough cathedral MIKA played in 1997 as a member of National Youth Music Theatre. https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music-theatre-war-child-peterborough-1268829.html The cassette tape exists. Maybe not for sale. Anyone who dare to ask him a copy?? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinyLove_CJ Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 @holdingyourdrink did you manage to find a CD player for the album you bought? I'm really curious to know what Mika's voice sounded like back then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really curious to know what Mika's voice sounded like back then! I can play it on an old Playstation, but I can’t extract the tracks from there! So now I’ve asked a friend if I can borrow their CD drive which I can plug into my computer through USB. But things are moving a little slow Will keep you updated. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
