‘Rat Pack of opera’ trio have special collection of songs ready for PFT

Orchestra . They have recently toured the USA and Estonia.

One of their most notable performances was performing live at Wembley for the FA cup final.

The group began back in 2003 when Jem and Scott met each other at an audition, and afterwards they were soon joined by Paul.

They planned to take on the popular classical genre and expand the perception of what a 21st century tenor should be by choosing some of the most iconic songs and incorporating their own sound.

The Pitlochry concert will feature a mix of songs from their new show, ranging from opera, pop, ‘crooner’ classics, and old favourites.

Audience members can enjoy ‘Everything’ by Michael Buble, ‘Unchained Melody’ by the Righteous Brothers, ‘Nella Fantasia’, ‘Recipe for Love’, ‘The Pearl Fishers’ duet and ‘Nessun Dorma’, and will include songs written by the group themselves, such as ‘Carry You’, which was composed by Paul Martin in aid of the charity Harrison’s Fund.

Jem said: “We’ve selected a special collection of songs to mark our 15 years together.

“These range from those we sang at the outset such as ‘Nessun Dorma’ and ‘Nella Fantasia’, as well as our favourite songs.

“We mix these with modern pop songs such as ‘Everything’ and crooner numbers such as ‘Can’t Take My Eyes off You’.

“We love singing songs we’ve written ourselves from ‘Brand nNew Day,’ ‘Viva la Vita,’ ‘Senza di te’ and ‘Carry You’.”

Tenors Unlimited at Pitlochry Festival Theatre will take place at 7.30pm on Saturday, February 23.

Tickets cost £18.50 and can be bought from the theatre’s box office on 01796 484626.
