Fron Male Voice Choir - Voices of the Valley Encore - CD

The world's oldest boyband is back with an album to stir the soul. The follow up to their double platinum selling debut, Encore sees the new superstars of the classical world bring their unique and powerful sound to a wealth of tunes. Ranging from the stunning versions of traditional melodies such as Amazing Grace and Suo Gan, to sublime reworking of pop favorites such as Yesterday and Bridge Over Troubled Water, this is another truly astonishing disc from the Welsh choir whose debut flew off the racks quicker than discs by such luminaries as Katherine Jenkins, Russell Watson or the Three Tenors. The Fron Male Voice Choir has been celebrating it's 60th anniversary in 2007, but throughout it's existence it has been a strictly amateur organization, whose members are either retired or hold down day jobs. Spotted singing at a wedding by pop supremo Daniel Glatman, they received a film offer from Hollywood, and a record deal with Universal Music. The choir became overnight sensations in 2006 singing at the Wales v Ireland rugby match at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, accompanying Neath's own Katherine Jenkins at the Classical Brits awards, and undertaking a sold-out British tour this spring. This is the second chapter in their remarkable, and melodic story. Music from the heart, from the heart of Wales.
