CLASSICAL male trio Blake are kicking off their UK tour next week with a show in Chelmsford.

The tenors are taking the stage at the Civic Theatre, in Fairfield Road, on Saturday, January 25 with the threesome set to perform their songs, many of which are pop tunes given a classical makeover.

Since forming originally as a quartet in 2007 through Facebook, the band has released three albums gaining an international reputation.

During the tour and through sales of their next single called The Sun, the group will be supporting military charity Walking With The Wounded.

Member Humphrey Berney said: “To be working with Walking With The Wounded and have our song as their official anthem is a great honour.

“To be able to help raise awareness and funds through our music and involvement with the charity is very special and rewarding.”

Tickets for the show cost £22 for adults and £20 for concessions.
