I first saw Alfie in the Les Miz 25th anniversary special on PBS, and I was blown away. I am 80, and I listen to his radio channel at home. Thank you for this interview. What a voice! I am so grateful that I have lived to experience the pleasure of hearing it. ❤🥰❤

Proud of you Alfie. Wonderful !☆☆☆☆

Alfie is simply Magic I adore him as the rebel Diva And his faith is like mine so that makes him Truly My Hero Ball and Boe May you Reign for decades! Much love Lauretta

Now I understand why he performs with Michael Ball. Alfie is still “moving up” and fulfilling new dreams. This video is essential for people who are just discovering him. Thank you to whomever was responsible for posting this video.

this was most enjoyable. i had never heard of either alfie boe or michael ball until the last 10-14 days. then michael posted his 93 concert videos from london on facebook! now they both have new lifelong fans of these gifted, god-given voices, true entertainers, handsome, and humorous fellas who love pranking each other. betty gordon, ames, iowa, usa

This is my first musical Opera that I've ever seen and what made me fall in love with this was listening to this beautiful voice Alfie BOE . I I immediately I'm saying immediately fell in love with this man's voice I said in my living room watching this PBS special of Les Miserables and I was hooked all the way down to bottom of my soul I was hooked I have five of his albums I'm missing too and I still love to listen to him talk and sing

Wonderful man, wonderful voice: this is what happens when a family loves each other! So blessed & honoured to have shared this gift with us: thank you Alfie BOE & family!💝💐🍀🎵🎶🙏🌹

Oh my goodness, how remarkable is this man?! Not only a God given stunning talent but a beautiful soul with a gorgeous family to match!

What a humble honest man with a gift of a fabulous voice ❤️

He is absolutely adorable.

I adore Allie . He is lovely and so amazingly talented ….an Earth Angel …💕🌈❤️💋💝🎶

Great interview, what a talented humble man!

How blessed we are to observe Alfie's life and enjoy his talents.

Just watched this again after all these years...my life what a life Alfie has achieved, since this interview. .love him more than ever,,,hope I can see him again..before the inevitable happens,, LOVE Alfie. .A real, True Entertainer, ,Bless you..Alfie xx

Wonderful !!!

Really found this interesting very proud of him of everything he has become in so many ways and they way Alfie enjoy everything one of my biggest fan love all his songs and everything else

I saw the 25th Les Mis anniv. on the cinema and I became a fan of him then. Seeing this now in 2020.. the more I admire his talent.. and he seems to be a real good person.

Wonderful interview. Love the twinkle always in his eyes.

Fabulous. I hadn't ever seen the concert until a month or so ago. I honestly never thought I'd hear a voice that moved me as much as Pavarotti's... but Alfie has possibly the most beautiful and perfect voice I've ever heard. I thoroughly agree with Floyd T. That moment in the rehearsal is mind-blowing! And a genuine guy with a great sense of humor, to boot? I think he's my new hero, too.

What a lovely story about the desth of his Father so beautiful amd so lovely to hear from a Catholic and not affraid beautiful

What a talented Guy with a pleasant personality to match a wonderful voice. I'm sure his father is looking down on him bursting with pride at what he has done with his natural talent. What an amazing story!

Love watching this today the Life story of ALF BOE what an incredible Artist thank you from WA

I loved this interview, I laughed, cried and absolutely adored this wonderful, humble man with the magical voice!!

What a lovely story! How wonderful that his family (especially his father) encouraged him in what was clearly his interest and his gift! So many parents would've told the kid to shut up and sit down. Can you imagine if that father had done so? We might not have this lovely gift today. Thank you, Papa Alfred!

I don't know about you, but I think this man's life would make an excellent book and film already, and he's only lived a portion of it so far. Up to now I only knew his incomparable performance in Les Miserables. I now know he is a decent and kind man of faith at the top level of an occupation where belief is often scoffed at or denied. This means so much more to me than his talent. I'm never going to be able to watch that concert again without thinking.. he was back there praying to God and his Dad right then. Very moving interview.

He's already written his autobiography! Good read, too.

Wonderfully done. What an amazing interview. Alfie has such an incredible story to share. He is an awesome human being as well as an extremely talented singer and performer. We (his fans) are so happy for him. Thank you for sharing this.

Love the little story, about Alfie waiting for his dad to come home and he would run upto him. I did exactly the same, I was close to my father, and I would watch through the window waiting for dad to appear walking through the wood. I would set off and run down the gunnel and he would give me a "twizzle". He would also give the kids in the street a "twizzle" too. Good Memories. Great Interview. And he sings my favourite song "We have all the time in the World". What a talent, what a man!

Humility, humor, integrity and talent rolled up into beautiful.

oh, yes, your father would be soooo proud of you! never doubt it.

I know Fleetwood so well. When I saw Alfie in Les Mis concert London, I was in a box and he sang Bring Him Home and he looked up. Beautiful moment.

I am growing to love this man called Alfie Boe more everyday...such a sweet spirit and enormous talent! God bless and keep you and yours safe Alfie!

I loved this man thank you for this great interview

I absolutely agree that there is no division between music. Music is music, period! Your work is awesome! Thank you. DT

Thank you for sharing your life Alfie. You are beautiful.

why is it that I had not heard of this singer? He is terrific!

I had the privilege of seeing him in Les Mis and Finding Neverland on broadway and meeting him. He's very kind to all of his fans.

Thought Wilkinson was the only Jean Valjean…would it be my pleasure to hear Allie Boe in concert? YES!

Alfie Boe is such an awesome passionate singer, entertainer. I hope to get to experience a live performance by him some day.

Went to see alfie boe in concert last year what a superb show he put on it was brilliant can't wait to see him again

My God!, he is human, he is handsome, he very talented and to top it off..his adorable.

Now I understand why he and Michael are so close. Good for Michael, since he reached out to his friend. GOD has given Alfie such a glorious voice....and Michael Ball as well!!!!!! They sing so well together!!!!! I am so smitten with Michael!!!!!

What a lovely man, and so much talent...

Oh my!!! I cried through half the video. What a wonderful voice and what a wonderful man. I love his story.

What a lovely talented man :) and he has a great laugh

You deserve it all Alfie

I hope Alfie and Michael do a soundtrack with Country music.

Alfie singing bring Him Home = goosebumps :) x

He is truly a lovely and gifted man!

You've made a lot of Alfie's fans very happy. We've heard him on BBC radio, and seen his stories in print, but this is the first time we've seen as he talked on a full length program. That was a treat. Top notch interview. Home movies, photos, clips, and well edited. (I just wish they'd thrown in a couple of clips from this summer's concerts, but....) Thanks again.

What a nice voice to be used as he sees fit. His family story reminds me of Susan Boyle and his mixture of music genre reminds me of Kristin Chenoweth. I wish Alfie much success!

I think Alfie may have thought he made it into the d'oyly carte by the skin of his teeth -- but in fact it sounds like he was seen as a great treasure right from his audition.

48:45 After the O2, interviewers kept asking him what it was like on stage after singing BHH. It wasn't until a year later that someone asked him what he did just before BHH. That was the first time Alfie talked about praying and asking his Dad for help. Now they all ask. And it was then we heard about coming off stage: "Alfie, Alfie, tonight a star was born!" "Who?" No wonder we all fell a little in love.

He is such a genuine soul...very humble for someone with such a talent!

Bring Him Home just reminds me of when my Dad was dying in a hospice and all I wanted was him back with us all.

Oh Hell Yeah! He's the real deal. I love it. I grew up with parents who sing in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir...and this guy can do that...and he can do country, blues, rock, ANYTHING...I LOVE IT!!! I'm eclectic that way. My friends assume I should only like classical because of my upbringing. NOPE. I was a fan on music alone...NOW??? I'm a fan on a true level and not just his music.

Fantastic singer and man

This is the best interview ever with Alfie. Fern was unintrusive letting Alfie speak. Wonderful to see the home life with his special family, and to see the faith that made him the wonderful man he is. He so deserves all his success. I have met him a few times and he is as genuine and unspoiled as he appears, always ready to ngive himself to his fans. Thank-you for posting and thank-you Alfie a thousand times for sharing your amazing gift with us, you are truly loved.

Cant help but love this man

Such a guy of pure talent, humbleness, good looks and appeal. I'm indulge into watching him more and hearing his music 🎶

What a sweet soul - this really touched my heart. Thank you so much for posting.

Salt of the Earth. And I can’t think of a better Tenor.

I saw Alfie Bow at Aberystwyth University and enjoyed it. ❤

A truly inspiring story to us all. And I agree with Matt Lucas, I don't think i could hear BHH in any other way aside from Alfie's operatic style any more.

Thank you for posting; now I don't have to google Wikipedia. Seriously I don't think I have heard such a magnificant voice and such a nice guy.

what a great story and what a great talent

The story of his life, and the intersection of that song and that concert is even better than I had heard.

What a great story! Thank you so much for the post

?? The voice is just as glorious, with or without the beard.

Thank you for this interview!

Thank you so much for uploading this! Amazing story!

Amazing just amazing

His life story really help and inspire me to follow my dreams! I was big Alfie's Fan but now I meet a different Alfie, the person, the dreamer. Thanks for share this video! And thanks Alfie for inspire a lot of people around the world.

awesome

Last year, I saw Alfie at a racing event where he sang an operatic version of Bob Marley's "No Woman No Cry/I Shot the Sheriff", and I can honestly say that my respect for him grew that night; the man can sing the phone book. I'm really jealous of Matt Lucas because he got to listen to him for free. Oh, and I think Alfie looks better clean-shaven!

I have a lot of hero's. And Alfie is certainly one of them! He is A-MA-ZING!!!

Thank you for putting this here!!!

Where was Alfie on Saturday night- we were told he was performing at the Albert Hall at the service of remembrance. Hope he isn’t poorly or his family are alright?

Please watch his role in Les Mis! It takes a lot to impress me, and he sure did it. He is incredibly talented and seems like a nice guy too.

So well done! Mahalo.

Thank you so much for posting this. For me, the favorite part, the part you really get to see what Alfie can do, is the brief scene in the rehearsal at about the 45 minute mark. Him holding that high note, from the end of the Soliloquy, just rolling out the sound making it look as easy as humanly possible, hands on hip, scratching his head, almost as if bored. The rest of the cast is blown away. It is breathtaking. Thank you.

BRING HIM HOME ........ tears : 0 )

I'd watch a movie about his life.

Alfie you ROCK

Thanks for uploading this.

I love Alfie🥰

Very entertaining man.

Hello, I live in Greece and I like opera because it reminds me somehow of Ancient Greek theatre. Well I'm new to opera but I like to consider it more like some kind of theatre than another type of music, simply because it's not, although it combines music and other kinds of art. Thank you

How embarassing must that be to have your baby pix on national British television. xD Love this man, great tenor.

It's only embarrassing if you were an ugly baby.

the man just loves music. such a good interview.

He looks so much like his father.

He's like if Sean Bean became an opera singer!

I'm not saying his voice, it's his appearance. I first saw him in the 25th Anniversary, with the beard, and I'm just so used to it.

I did. As a matter of fact I bought the dvd.

Hahaha, great moment at 48:25 "Who's your brother!?" "I'M JEAN VALJEAN!"

Lo amo

Looks like Michael Douglas.

Without the beard, its just not the same

I brought his book about his life.

Yay! Another fan is born!

hey dad, I have a question who is an international opera singer in the world?

I never knew anything about his dad, my dad was told he had 7 to 10 days left, he also lasted 10 months. I understand that emotion, that feeling of loss, that confusion. I said to my dad the day he died that he could go now, we would cope together. I love Alfie the more I learn about him. His voice brings such happiness and emotion. Long may it continue. Oh and him and Michael Ball together is just pure joy.
