BRIT AWARD winners Blake are returning to Winchester as part of their national tour.
The three-piece are set to bring their refined new sound to the Theatre Royal with In Harmony – their newest and biggest tour yet.
Inspired by the likes of the Three Tenors, the Bee Gees and Boyz-II-Men, their latest concert sees a combination of classic tunes from their first four albums as well as some exclusive new songs from their critically-acclaimed album of the same name, released earlier this year.
Once again the trio are looking for talented local choirs to join them on stage. Over the past five years they have been joined by more than 250 choirs from around the UK, as well as from overseas.
Band member Humphrey Berney said: “We three guys got our musical starts in life through performing in choirs so it’s been inspirational to see so many UK groups sending us their YouTube clips for consideration over the years.”
Choirs simply need to email their latest videos to the Blake website and the chosen groups will perform on five big ensemble songs, as well as present their own solo song to the audience.
Ollie Baines added: “We’re delighted that our campaign to get local choirs on professional stages results in new solo stars being found.
“Singing within a choir is the best way to build confidence as a vocalist.
The UK should be proud of its choral heritage.”
Tickets cost £21 for the February 11 show and can be bought by calling the box office on 01962 840440 or visiting theatreroyal winchester.co.uk.
