With their effortless vocal skills, silky-smooth charm and a neat line in self-deprecating humour Tenors Un Limited wowed their audience at the Gaiety Theatre on Saturday April 13th in a show sponsored by Celton Manx to help raise money for Junior Achievement.
Celebrating their 10th anniversary during 2013 Tenors Un Limited – Scott Ciscon, Paul Martin and Jem Sharples, billed as The Rat Pack of Opera - supported by musical director and pianist Kennedy Aitchison, put on a sophisticated show of much-loved classical arias (think Nessun Dorma and Pearl Fishers’Duet) enduring favourites, (You Raise Me Up, Time to Say Goodbye) three numbers from Les Miserables and several songs written by the talented threesome themselves.
When they turned up their charm to white-hot and got down among the audience one not entirely shy and retiring female was whisked away from her front-row seat and escorted on to the stage. There she had an opportunity to get up close and personal and enjoy her very own Strictly Come Dancing moment with Scott and his colleagues as they performed Amore.
These talented tenors give good aria but they also know how to camp it up, bringing Naples to Douglas and performing a deeply cheesy, yet polished nonetheless, rendition of O Sole Mio.
Great voices. Great looks. Great evening.
For another taste of talented testosterone flawless five vocal harmony group The Overtones will be performing in aid of Junior Achievement on Saturday October 5th at the Villa Marina. For tickets visit www.villagaiety.com or call in to the Welcome Centre at the Sea Terminal.
