For those who were impressed by Blake at the recent Hayley concert in Croydon you can see them again at St. James Church, London (where All Angels recently performed) on Thursday 28th February. Tickets are available at Livenation.co.uk

Here's a scan for the ladies of this forum from Friday's Daily Mail. Blake talk mainly about their Royal connections.






Please let me know if anyone wants the original article mailed.

Cheers,

Just recieved their CD Blake, a bargain on Ebay.
I decided to buy this one , after seeing the video of their perfomance with Hayley at Fairfield Croydon.
I am listening to it now, and i love it !!!!!

Hey Joyce!

I'm glad you got their album. I got it before Croydon and haven't stopped listening to it. I really love their version of "God Only Knows" I'm going to put it on right now!
I've got both Il Divo's and BLAKE's albums and BLAKE's wins hands down. It's very easy to listen to and the song selection is wonderful.

Hi Caitlin,
That is funny, the song God Only knows, is my favourite too!!
IMO, Blake is singing more relaxed than Il Divo does, or it sounds to me more relaxed, when i'm listening to it.

Hi Joyce,
thanks for the idea!!

I have put in a bid in for one on Ebay after your post !

In my 'Beach Boy youth' God only Knows was also a favourite of mine.
It will be interesting to hear their version.

Thanks Again , Graham

Hello Blake fans!

I received their new album yesterday. I loved their first album, but this one is a step backwards. Very disappointed.

As always, writing a review for it on my website.

If you don't have the album "Together" yet, here is a sample:

Blake singing "Bring Him Home" at Cadogan Hall on 1st October 2009, for Breakthrough Breast Cancer Inspiration Awards.

Bring Him Home

PS. The starting tenor is Humphrey Berney, the latest member of the band. A name that Hayley Westenra fans should know.

I have now finished my review for their latest album on my website.

'Together' by Blake

I've just discovered Blake on Itunes... wow! They're really good! I love it when I make a good discovery like this!

[Sing]

Blake have recorded a duet of the Coldplay song Fix You (which happens to be one of my absolute favourite songs although I prefer most cover versions to Coldplays lol)with a singer called Justine Balmer- she has a really good voice IMO, I think it's definitely one to watch out for. At the moment it's a pledge album (like Jonathan Ansell's latest album) ; with details here: www.pledgemusic.com/justinebalmer

Here's a sneak peak of the track:



And a video of Justine Balmer singing Amazing Grace:

Thanks for the videos, Sing!

It's good to see Andy Moore on guitar again.
