Jem Sharples from Tenors Unlimited, the ‘Rat Pack of Opera’ visited Little Common Primary School, Bexhill-on-Sea on October 31 for a rehearsal with the choir. Little Common Primary School choir will be appearing with Tenors Unlimited “In Concert Celebrating 20 Years” at the Royal Hippodrome Theatre, Eastbourne on Sunday, November 26, 7.30pm.

This is part of the guys’ new UK tour, as they enter a new era as a duo starring Jem Sharples and Paul Martin.

For the last 20 years, the group has historically been a trio. Following the retirement of the third member last year, Jem and Paul started performing as a duo. The performances were so well received with such excitement by fans, the seed was sown to continue this way.

Jem says: “Celebrating 20 years and with a vast repertoire to choose from, we feel we’re at our best as a duo. Our repertoire includes popular classics and opera mixed with crooner and pop favourites, as well as songs written by ourselves. There’s something for everyone – from Michael Bublé, Frankie Valli to The Pearl Fisher’s Duet and Nessun Dorma.” See the duo in action https://youtu.be/MlkQJk0WjJ0

They have appeared on television, radio and at top venues such as The Royal Albert Hall and the Royal Festival Hall.

Their show will take you on a wonderful musical journey through some of the best loved songs made famous by other ‘icons of song’, such as Pavarotti, Lanza, Sting and Bublé. The group’s wide ranging repertoire includes the ever popular classics, “The Pearl Fisher’s Duet” and “Nessun Dorma” mixed with crooner and pop favourites. These include “Everything”, “Can’t Take My Eyes off you”, “You Raise Me Up”, “Some Enchanted Evening”, “Love Changes Everything” as well as songs written by the guys themselves.
