Record deal joy for NHS dentist
Published:
AN NHS DENTIST has vowed to keep fixing teeth for the next three months despite landing a £1 million record deal.
Andrew Bain, 35, has been signed by SonyBMG to record operatic versions of songs from Abba, The Smiths and Snow Patrol.
The dentist, a locum in north London, spent months trying to convince record companies he was the next big thing but was always turned down.
After making a demo of an operatic version of Prince’s ballad Purple Rain, he finally landed a deal.
In the last 10 years he has performed in West End choruses and amateur opera in his spare time.
He said he will still keep appointments with patients over the next three months until he swaps his drill for a microphone.
