Vocal trio Blake announce the autumn leg of their ‘Live In Concert’ tour with special guest Camilla Kerslake.
Expect an evening of great music and entertainment from these singers whose stunning harmonies and rat-pack banter have been entertaining audiences around the world. As well as classic songs from their three previous chart-topping and award-winning albums Blake are looking forward to performing songs from their new album ‘Start Over’.
Classical BRIT Nominee Camilla Kerslake will be joining Blake on their October tour. Having first worked with Camilla when they performed Nessun Dorma together at the 2010 Classical BRIT Awards, Blake have invited her to join them as their special guest on their ‘Live In Concert’ tour. Performing songs from her eponymous debut album and dueting with Blake on ‘The Prayer’, ‘Time To Say Goodbye’ and ‘Jerusalem’.
Together Blake and Camilla will also be performing their new single ‘You Raise Me Up’ which has been recorded in aid of the Breast Cancer Campaign, a charity that is close to Camilla’s heart and for whom she is an ambassador. In June 2011 Camilla chose to step out of the limelight, cancelling a UK tour, when her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. After a year sabbatical caring for her mother Camilla began campaigning both for the Royal Marsden, who saved her mother’s life, and the many breast cancer charities whose research enabled them to do so. Having been asked by the Breast Cancer Campaign to record a single for them Camilla has invited Blake to join her on the vocals for ‘You Raise Me Up’. Also appearing on the single is a choir comprising of women whose lives have also been directly affected by breast cancer in some way, and who will perform the single alongside Camilla and Blake at the Pink Ribbon Ball later this year.
Eastbourne is the last stop on this whistlestop fast selling tour and as one of the band members has their roots in the town it is only fitting that Eastbourne gives the boys a great finale.
