It's Here! #CollabroTour #ActTwo

So it's finally here, Collabro's 2016 Act Two Tour!!  I have to wait until April for my chance to see them live again but I'm enjoying seeing all the tweets and Facebook posts so far!  I have heard they sing live a few times and I would challenge anyone to have not been utterly moved by one of their performances! The guys are also great at engaging with fans and are always thankful for their support, adding to their appeal.

Collabro are unique in what they do and have successfully introduced musical theatre to the masses and I'm sure many more will become Collaborators after their second tour! On many occasions they have also reignited a love for this type of music in those who may have forgotten how great it can be! They have breathed new life into much celebrated music with their polished vocal technique and passion for what they sing!  Their consistently dazzling performances has earned them great respect from peers as well as fans, there is certainly no one else like them!  A meeting of voices that blend together so seamlessly that at times it sounds like one voice, producing a sound so pure it's breathtaking! Their fans are regularly reduced to tears by the emotion they convey and the rapport between the boys is obvious too!

I have often wondered if it is as easy as they make it look, the way their voices overlap and brilliantly and blend, their musicality plain to see!  The arrangements at times seem so complicated and multi layered how is it possible for each member to remain focused on their own part!

Their ability to perceive and reproduce different aspects of music including pitch, rhythm and harmony has been demonstrated many times when they have been asked to sing something unusual for them such as a pop song.  Often using a slower tempo allowing more time for their style to shine through.

Yay the selfie is back!!

Skilled at singing in different registers from tenor to baritone and counter-tenor at times they have also demonstrated extending their range to sing in falsetto; for example Richard at the beginning of 'Bring Him Home'.

Collabro are supported by Catriona Murray and A J Brown for this tour who are both amazing performers too!  

If you haven't got tickets yet or would like to go see them more than once don't forget to try ringing the venue direct as sometimes there may be some left even if its showing as sold out!
