Jem Sharples, from Tenors Unlimited, says: ’We want our audiences to have an uplifting experience in this show, so we’ve chosen songs of love and laughter - some from our back catalogue, as well as new numbers, old favourites, modern pop songs and some we’ve written ourselves. There’s something for everyone.’
In this show, Scott Ciscon, Jem Sharples and Paul Martin will take audiences on a journey through some of the best loved songs of the last century, made famous by other ’icons of song’ such as Pavarotti, Lanza, Sting, Bublé and Freddie Mercury.
The group’s wide ranging repertoire includes the ever popular classics, ’The Pearl Fisher’s Duet’ and ’Nessun Dorma’ mixed with crooner and pop favourites.
These include ’Barcelona’, ’Recipe For Love’, ’Nella Fantasia’ and ’Everything’ as well as songs written by the group themselves.
Other songs include ’Mr Blue Sky’, ’Always on My Mind’ (Elvis Presley), ’All I Ask of You’ (Andrew Lloyd Webber), ’Sound of Silence’ (Simon and Garfunkel), ’From Now On’ (The Greatest Showman) and ’Tonight’ (West Side Story).
