Brit Award winning trio Blake are appearing at the Alban Arena next Thursday, October 2.

Currently on their biggest UK tour yet, they are performing at the St Albans theatre from 7.30pm.

Blake have been touring worldwide for seven years and mix classical, pop, rock and musicals. Inspired by the classic trio harmonies of The Three Tenors, The Bee Gees and Boyz-II-Men, the trio will be performing exclusive songs from their fifth studio album, released UK-wide this autumn.

They have just returned from summer tours to the United States, Russia, South Africa and Asia and the show will feature anecdotes from the tours as well as harmonies.

Support comes from soprano Camilla Kerslake performing her own songs and joining Blake for some duets.

Tickets at £20 are available from the Arena box office 01727 844488 or online at www.alban-arena.co.uk
