Only Boys Aloud Announce 2013 Tour Plans

• 3rd Dec 2012

Only Boys Aloud, the world’s most numerously member-ed boy band, will perform on The X Factor final weekend, on Saturday December 8.

The 140 strong choir from the Welsh Valleys are best known for achieving huge success on ITV1’s hit show Britain’s Got Talent 2012. Their eponymous debut album is out today; a stirring collection of traditional Welsh songs and choral versions of more contemporary tracks including Coldplay’s ‘Paradise’.

The choir, made up of 140 young men aged 14 – 19, are now “living the dream” says choir member Tom Miles. With the imminent release of their debut album, Dan Urch of OBA said, “We’re all one big group of friends and when we’re together making music, magic happens”. Josh Escott of the group also said, “I just really want to do my family proud”.

A special Christmas edition of the album will also include 6 beautifully arranged versions of traditional festive numbers, including ’A Fairytale Of New York’ which features a duet with Eastender’s Rita Simons and comedian Jason Manford.

They have also announced a UK tour in April 2013:
Tue 02-Apr-2013 – Manchester Bridgewater Hall
Wed 03-Apr-2013 – Gateshead Sage 1
Thu 04-Apr-2013 – Birmingham Symphony Hall
