DAME SHIRLEY BASSEY’S FAVOURITE VOCAL TRIO 'BLAKE' ARE BACK WITH A NEW SHOW When Dame Shirley Bassey first saw the male vocal group BLAKE perform on ITV's This Morning eight years ago she, along with millions of viewers, was so smitten that she promptly requested that they perform at her birthday party that same night. Since then the Dame has watched BLAKE at many of their live concerts, including a recent preview of their latest show called 'In Harmony', currently touring the UK now. It's this brand new show that BLAKE will be bringing to Blyth this June for two dates, at the Phoenix on the 6th and 7th. They will be performing 2 hours of uplifting and emotional music from the pop, classical and musical worlds, which guarantee there ‘won’t be a dry eye in the house’ - OK Magazine. The songs have been curated from 6 albums spanning their 8 year strong career, including their BRIT-Award winning debut album and their latest offering 'In Harmony'. Combined with adlibbed banter & comedy, live instruments, stunning projected videos and dramatic lighting, BLAKE are assured to thrill anyone with a love of powerful songs and ratpack fun. BLAKE has an impressive CV of achievements including several number 1's, multi-platinum selling albums, regular appearances on UK television (including 5 shows this last year), three performances in front of the Queen and various worldwide tours to Asia, America, Russia and Europe. However, it’s the constant support from BLAKE’s loyal fans that can be attributed to their long lasting success. From performing alongside them on stage in local choirs to funding them through PledgeMusic to create their critically acclaimed 5th album ‘In Harmony’, BLAKE’s fans have been with them every step of the way. ‘In Harmony’ - OK! Magazine **** Three guest artists appear on BLAKE's ‘In Harmony’, including Brit-Award nominee Camilla Kerslake, Number 1 selling classical soprano Rebecca Newman and Filipino superstar Rachelle Ann Go, who recently won a World Music Award for her role in the new production of Miss Saigon on the West-End in London. "A stunning concert and one of the entertainment highlights of the year" - The Cornish Guardian BLAKE are once again searching the UK for talented local choirs to join them on stage as part of their ‘In Harmony’ tour. Over the last five years the group have been joined by more than 250 local choirs around the UK and overseas, in venues as far apart as Manchester, Moscow and Manila. Choirs simply need to email their latest videos to the BLAKE website and the chosen groups will perform alongside BLAKE on five big ensemble songs, as well as present their own solo song to the audience. Performers in past guest choirs for BLAKE’s shows have recently been seen attaining places at prestigious London music colleges and even taking star roles in West End shows. “Brilliant” ‘In Harmony’ - Woman & Home 7 Broadbent Close, Highgate Village, London, N6 5JW t 020 3213 0135 f 020 8348 7776 e info@republicmedia.net www.republicmedia.net @republic_media Watch BLAKE performing ‘Hallelujah’ live in concert… bit.ly/HallelujahBlake Blake – ‘In Harmony’ 2015 Tour January Fri 23rd Grand, Clitheroe www.thegrandvenue.co.uk February Weds 11th Sat 15th Theatre Royal, Winchester Theatre Royal, Windsor www.theatreroyalwinchester.co.uk www.theatreroyalwindsor.co.uk March Mon 1st Tues 17th Radlett Centre, Hertfordshire Gordon Craig Theatre, Stevenage www.radlettcentre.co.uk www.gordon-craig.co.uk April Fri 3rd Fri 24th Tues 28th Weds 29th Cromer Pier, Cromer Medina Theatre, Isle Of Wight Theatre Royal, Lincoln Garrick Theatre, Lichfield www.cromer-pier.com www.medinatheatre.co.uk www.lincolntheatreroyal.com www.lichfieldgarrick.com May Fri 1st Tues 5th Fri 22nd Fri 29th Pomegranate, Chesterfield Gordon Craig Theatre, Stevenage Elgiva Theatre, Chesham Little Theatre, Leicester www.pomegranatetheatre.co.uk www.gordon-craig.co.uk www.elgiva.com www.thelittletheatre.net June Fri 4th Sat 6th Sun 7th Weds 10th Alnwick Playhouse, Alnwick Phoenix Theatre, Blyth Phoenix Theatre, Blyth Brindley Theatre, Runcorn www.alnwickplayhouse.co.uk www.thephoenixtheatre.org.uk www.thephoenixtheatre.org.uk www.thebrindley.org.uk July Sat 4th Fri 10th Sat 18th Wed 22nd Hoghton Tower, Preston Palace Theatre, Redditch Hippodrome, Eastbourne Holt Festival www.hoghtontower.co.uk www.redditchpalacetheatre.co.uk www.royalhippodrome.com www.holtfestival.org August Fri 21st The Stables, Milton Keynes www.stables.org September Wed 9th Thurs 10th Fri 11th Sat 12th Thurs 17th The Grand, Lancaster The Plaza, Stockport St Helens, Merseyside Tivoli Theatre, Wimborne Playhouse, Harlow www.lancastergrand.co.uk www.stockportplaza.co.uk www.sthelenstheatreroyal.com www.tivoliwimborne.co.uk www.playhouseharlow.com October Fri 2nd The Place, Oakengates, Telford www.theplacetelford.com 7 Broadbent Close, Highgate Village, London, N6 5JW t 020 3213 0135 f 020 8348 7776 e info@republicmedia.net www.republicmedia.net @republic_media Sat 3rd, Sun 4th Fri 9th Courtyard, Hereford Roses Theatre, Tewkesbury Clair Hall, Haywards Heath www.courtyard.org.uk www.rosestheatre.org www.placesforpeopleleisure.org November Sat 7th Fri 20th Sun 28th Exmouth Pavilion, Devon Capitol, Horsham Solihull Arts Complex, Solihull www.exmouthpavilion.co.uk www.thecapitolhorsham.com www.solihullartscomplex.co.uk March Friday 25th Regent Centre, Dorset www.regentcentre.co.uk For more information and tour dates visit www.blakeofficial.com For more information contact regional@republicmedia.net / 020 3213 0135 7 Broadbent Close, Highgate Village, London, N6 5JW t 020 3213 0135 f 020 8348 7776 e info@republicmedia.net www.republicmedia.net @republic_media
