BLAKE are to tour the UK in 2017 and will appear on stage at The Plaza on Wednesday, June 7, at 7.30pm with an exciting show, Songs From Stage and Screen.
Known for their ability to perform a huge mix of genres, the singers use rich vocal harmonies to perform classic songs in their inimitable style.
The tour follows appearances on The Graham Norton Show, The One Show and Strictly Come Dancing, 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.
Tenor Oliver Baines 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.”
The three members of Blake have an impressive CV of achievements including several number ones, multiplatinum selling albums and more than 150 television 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 United States.
