Twice-nominated BRIT Awards winners Blake will be bringing their mix of classical and pop songs to the Isle of Man on Friday December 9 when they perform at the Villa Marina’s Royal Hall in aid of Junior Achievement Isle of Man. The classical boyband – Ollie Baines, Humphrey Berney, Stephen Bowman and Jules Knight – who saw their first album go straight to number one in the UK classical album chart in 2007 and hit number one in the UK pop album chart, are currently on tour in the UK, then the Philippines and Moscow before making their first appearance in the Isle of Man for An Evening with Blake, which is being supported by the Capital International Group and 3FM. Tickets for An Evening with Blake are priced from ?29.50. To book visit www.villagaiety.com Junior Achievement chief executive Sue Cook said: ‘Blake’s already sold more than half a million albums and are making their name around the world, so clearly they’re showing great entrepreneurial spirit as well as musical talent. This has a special appeal to us as Junior Achievement is a charity working to develop the next generation of entrepreneurs. But even more appealing, though, is the fact that Dame Shirley Bassey, for whom Blake performed at her 70th birthday celebrations, is quoted as saying they’re “handsome boys with divine voices”, reason enough to book your ticket right now.’ Each year Junior Achievement needs to raise ?300,000 to fund its work to equip young people with life skills and develop their financial literacy.
