Summary: Don't stop now
Comment: Quick, before it's too late, make more CDs. Don't be another Inigo Byrne, Joseph McManners, Leandro, Declan, etc. They all did one CD when they were young. We want more. Remember Billy Gilman, he did several when he was young. Be like Billy.

Summary: Great Opportunity Missed, I'm afraid
Comment: Andrew Johnston has a wonderful voice, and it's a real shame that we couldn't have had a superb CD of his treble tones, featuring choral/ spiritual music in a cathedral setting, without the horrendous intrusion of some of the popular/pop and secular songs included here.
This album is SO obviously aimed at the Xmas market.
I would like to hope that we could hear a full CD of Andrew at his best- in 'Cathedral Choir' mode (if anyone would finance it!?), but unfortunately it seems the opportunity has been missed, and may never return....
after all, the lad's voice will be bound to 'break' in the not-too-distant future.

Summary: Outstanding
Comment: I heard Andrew Johnstone sing on Good Morning Sunday, which is on BBC Radio 2 in the UK, I was so impressed with the singing, I literally logged straight onto the internet and found his CD "One Voice" and immediately purchased it there and then.
I eagerly awaited its arrival and was totally over awed, Andrew's voice is simply outstanding, clear and a sheer joy to listen to, every song on the CD is a pleasure, with such a range of talent coming through.
It is a long time since I heard anybody sing with this high level of ability, clarity and produce such sheer enjoyment.
I would recommend everybody to listen to one track, you will find that you simply listen all the way through the cd..............and feel as though you want to purchase it (Just for the record I have purchased 3 more copies, which I will give away as presents this christmas)
Simply fantastic and so look forwards to seeing Andrew become one of the greats, I will surely follow Andrew's progress with great interest and look forwards to the day when he will be singing live, Hopefully he will team up with Aled Jones and more so Karl Jenkins...... Would be simply fabulous

Summary: Save Your Money
Comment: If you want a memento of a TV programme then this CD might be for you, but if you want a representation of the special beauty and clarity of the unbroken male voice, then I would look elsewhere. That's not to say that Andrew doesn't have a great voice - he does, but he has been really badly served by the producers of this CD. Instead of the natural reverberation from a great cathedral, it sounds as though the reverberation has been added by a sound engineer, almost to the point of distortion in the higher registers. Orchestration is lush, which I think in certain cases detracts from the undoubted quality of his voice. Finally, and perhaps it's the Scot in me but £9 for a CD of just ten songs and lasting just 35 minutes - save your money!

Summary: So Relaxing and What A God Given Beautiful Voice!
Comment: Got my copy two days ago and what can I say? Not one 'duff' track on the whole album! Andrews beautiful rendition of Claptons 'Tears In Heaven' is just so moving the way he sings it. An Abba track, a Lennon track and a Lloyd Webber track has just got to make this the best selling classical album of this year! I hope we get a Christmas album from this lad? Good luck Andrew!
