Blake bring their Live in Concert tour to Exmouth

Vocal trio Blake are bringing their Live in Concert tour for 2014 to Exmouth Pavilion on Saturday 26 April. 

Touring the length and breadth of the UK Blake will provide 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 they are looking forward to performing songs from their latest album Start Over.

In November Blake announced their partnership with UK based charity Walking With the Wounded starting with the launch of a charity single. The song, To the Sun, which was written by songwriter Alistair Griffin, has been adopted by Walking With the Wounded as its official anthem with 50p from the sale of each single donated to the charity. They debuted To the Sun in Trafalgar Square at the South Pole Allied Challenge send off in front of Prince Harry and the expedition team members.

Blake's association with Walking With the Wounded will include a range of activities through 2014 including participation in some of the charity’s challenges as well as promotion and fundraising throughout Blake's UK tour dates and performances at Walking With the Wounded events.

“To be working with Walking With the Wounded and have our song as their official anthem is a great honour,” says Humphrey Berney. “To be able to help raise awareness and funds through our music and involvement with Walking With the Wounded is very special and rewarding."

Blake's most recent album Start Over, is a beautiful collection of contemporary harmony pop featuring stunning original songs and a few carefully selected covers, including Paul McCartney’s Beautiful Night and Bob Dylan’s Make You Feel My Love. Having formed in 2007, recording and performing as a classical group, ‘Start Over’ is Blake's first pop album and sees them embracing the challenge. The change in musical direction is in fact a natural progression for Blake.

Inspired by great vocalists such as the Bee Gees, Boyz II Men and The Beach Boys, and having toured almost continually since 2009’s Together (their third album), their live set list has expanded to include more and more contemporary material. The group discovered that the strength of their vocal arrangements and four part harmonies allowed them to interpret a widening range of songs and the reaction from their audiences reinforced their belief that they were creating something special.

Blake's worldwide status continues to grow as the band take their music to important new territories and return to the Philippines where they are hugely popular. Their third album Together topped the charts in the country last year and the group are putting the finishing touches on a new album specifically for the Philippines including a number of tracks sung in Tagalog, one of the Philippines’ predominant languages. In the UK the Filipino fan base is just as strong as proven when the band took to the stage at Barrio Fiesta 2013 to a crowd of 60,000 Filipinos. As well as touring the UK in 2014 the band have tours lined up in Germany and South Africa.
