AWARD-winning classical artist Russell Watson has asked Cheltenham’s very own Community Choir to join him during his intimate performance at Cheltenham Town Hall this March (Sunday 15) as part of his national tour.

Watson is one of the world’s most prominent tenors, selling in excess of seven million albums worldwide. His first album, ‘The Voice’, held number 1 positions in both the US and UK charts and spent a record-breaking 52 weeks at number 1 in the UK.

He has always been a strong supporter of unsigned local artists and choirs, especially after being a judge on the BBC prime time show ‘Last Choir Standing’.

“I love being accompanied by choirs and the energy and excitement they bring. I am really looking forward to this tour and feel that Cheltenham Community Choir will be the perfect addition to the evening, ” said Russell Watson.
