For over 25 years, Dave Willetts has been one of the UK's leading theatre musical stars. Dave has been praised by critics and contemporaries alike for his worldwide performances in some of the most renowned musicals of our time. 

Over the last 25 years however, his ability to cover all genres of musical styles from jazz to country rock has only been heard at his many sell out concerts. 

'Once In A Lifetime' has brought together all of these styles on one special album, and of course no album of Dave's would be complete without his own unique interpretation of some of the greatest songs from the greatest shows of all time.

So sit back and enjoy this ONCE IN A LIFETIME, 25 YEAR ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION, and experience brand new songs, live concert recordings and 16 previously unreleased tracks by one of the UK's favourite artists.

"You could have called this CD 'Unmistakably Dave' because he has that rare quality of instant identity. You can do the same with Sinatra, Nat King Cole and a handful of other singers but it's a skimpy list. Dave has grown into one of the best musical theatre stars in the world. I've worked with him on Aspects of Love and Sunset Boulevard and his performances have always been nothing short of thrilling. Oh, he's a lovely bloke as well.."
