A spectacular show of festive song from Blake

Following on from last years Christmas Eve BBC One appearance on David Walliams celebrates Dame Shirley Bassey, British harmony trio Blake are back with a brand-new Christmas Tour.

Linked together with the boys’ famous improvised banter, the show is the perfect way to get you into the Christmas spirit. This is the ultimate celebration of Yuletide, all sung in thrilling vocal harmony. The charismatic trio will be taking their tour to Salisbury Playhouse, December 12.

At each show the boys enlist the help of a local choir, giving them the chance to perform to packed theatres, and bringing the community together through music.

The tour follows appearances alongside the sensational Dame Shirley Bassey, with whom they released a Christmas single last December. The single featured on their festive album A Classic Christmas in aid of children’s charities Variety and Noah’s Ark Hospice.

The members of Blake all found their love of music at a young age and sang with various groups and choirs throughout their childhood. Their passion for music continues to grow and they wanted to share this with the communities they would be visiting on their tour.

Oliver Baines, Tenor, said: “We thought about how we could involve school choirs and local community choirs in our live shows, and that getting some of the choirs up on stage with us would be a great experience for both them and us”.

Blake have an impressive CV of achievements including several No.1s, multi-platinum selling albums and over 150 TV appearances, as well as having won a Brit Award for Album of the Year. Famous fans include Keira Knightley, Ewan McGregor, Kevin Spacey and Will Smith. The trio tour constantly and take part in a vast amount of charity work, from performing for the Queen and Prince Harry at the Festival of Remembrance and the launch of the Walking With The Wounded South Pole Challenge, to working with the ‘Sing to Beat Breast Cancer’ Choir.

Other charities they have supported include Help For Heroes, The British Legion and MIND. They have fans worldwide, which has sent them on tours to the Philippines, South Korea, Barbados, Russia, and even at the White House in the US.
