Brighton Gay Men’s Chorus (BGMC) are to reunite with best-selling British tenor Russell Watson at Brighton Dome tonight.
The chorus first met Russell during the BBC show Last Choir Standing. Russell who was a judge, famously fought to keep the Chorus in the game as they competed against acclaimed welsh male choir Only Men Aloud who went on to win the show.
Russell said: “If the guys want to come and join me we’ll do a number on stage together… I’m absolutely serious, that would be fantastic.”
Adam Betteridge, a trustee for Brighton Gay Men’s Chorus, said: “Last Choir Standing was a turning point in our development as a choir and as a charity. I’m sure I am not alone in remembering back then how moving it was to hear Russell so passionately fight to keep our Chorus in the competition. I could hardly believe my ears when I got the call telling me that he had personally asked for us to join him on stage at the Brighton Dome!”
