Part II of the success story that began in 2005 when Universal Records auditioned thousands of choirboys for a place in the world’s first choirboy band, the founder members (so to speak) Ben, Patrick and CJ who like all boys their age enjoyed football, computer games and rock music. More unusually, Ben, Patrick and CJ also enjoyed centuries-old choral music by long-dead classical composers. Collectively they became known as The Choirboys. They certainly struck a chord with the public with their debut album selling 500,000 copies, in the process reaching No.1 in the classical charts, the top ten in the pop charts and the single, their version of Eric Clapton’s Tears in Heaven, reached the pop top 20.
18 months later and nature had taken its natural course, Ben, Patrick and CJ were no longer quite able to reach that high C. Naturally, for young men of a certain age, their voices had broken and it was time to pass the baton on to the new kids on the block.
The Choirboys, Bill, Andrew and William are back for Christmas. The faces may have changed, but the voices are as pure as ever. Three new boys singing a collection of carols and Christmas favourites that will melt mothers’ hearts and fill stockings for years to come
