Blake were my guests today. They're playing at The Anvil, Basingstoke on April 17th and they're looking for a good, young, local choir to back them. If you're interested, get in touch at [email protected].



Blake are four very astute young men; Jules, Stephen, Dominic and Ollie, four former choristers who found each other on the online networking site Facebook, and swiftly became a singing phenomenon. They've only been in the music business for a few years, yet they've already netted a host of huge celebrity fans, and are in with the Royal family, thanks to two of them going to university with Kate and William. However, they're not just kids born with a silver spoon in the mouth. We were talking throughout today's programme about social mobility, and the problem of kids born without the sort of advantages they've had. But life hasn't always been so easy for some of them, as you'll hear if you listen again to this morning's show...

The lads are also headlining at the Henley Festival on July 7.
