Having met for their first rehearsal in a pub at London Bridge in 2014, they auditioned for Britain’s Got Talent a month later and received a full standing ovation from both the audience and the judges after their performance.
They went on to win the show in 2014 with one of the biggest majorities ever, and their debut album ‘Stars’ entered the UK albums chart at number one, was quickly certified gold, and became the fastest selling album in 2014.
Having just announced the release of their fifth album ‘Love Like This’ on November 15th, through BMG, they will take the new album out to their fans with a full UK tour.

Classical crossover band Il Divo are set to perform in Hull.
The original and the best classical cross over group of all time Il Divo return to the UK in December 2020 for the Christmas With Il Divo tour which will see them perform all their greatest hits and festive classics live.
First discovered and mentored by Simon Cowell in 2003, the group composed by the Spanish Carlos Marin (baritone), the Swiss Urs Buhler (tenor), the Frenchman Sebastien Izambard (tenor) and the American David Miller (tenor), became a pioneer of a musical genre unknown until that time when in 2004 they released their debut album “IL Divo”.
Since then, the international four-member group has become the world leader in its genre, and has achieved a second to none success around the world, performing before personalities like former US presidents George Bush, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama , as well as the Queen of England.
With hits like “Regresa a Mi” (Unbreak My Heart), “The Time Of Our Lives” (“The Official Song of the 2006 FIFA World Cup),” and “I Believe In You” (Je crois en toi) a duet with Celine Dion, the band have sold over 30 million records, have 50 No.1s and 160 gold and platinum records in more than 33 countries.
They have also sold out six world tours performing at some of the most prestigious venues in the world.
Next Christmas, Il Divo will be performing festive classics as well as their much-loved greatest hits creating the ultimate fan experience.
A concert by students of Hull Piano School which showcases their progression from beginners to accomplished pianists. The concert will finish with a full performance of Ravel’s Mother Goose Suite, which has five duet movements each played by different students. This last performance will also be illustrated by pictures painted by Beverley artist Annamaria Dutto.
While giving first class entertainment, the friendly setting enables students to gain experience playing to others. The skills of even the youngest are quite remarkable, while more advanced students are truly inspiring.

Manchester Camerata returns to The Meridian Centre for a relaxing afternoon of popular classics chosen by local residents that will be specially arranged for this concert. Expect to hear a collection of music that will take you back to the time of big bands and dance halls, alongside well-known classical masterpieces such as Barber’s Adagio for Strings. We’re delighted to be joined by Withernsea Ladies Choir and residents from local care homes for this concert.
Across Britain from Shetland to Sark, and across the globe from Vancouver to Singapore, Simon Mayor and Hilary James have brought their special blend of dazzling musicianship.
If they have a speciality, it’s an ability to combine a truly diverse array of talents into a hugely entertaining stage show. There can’t be many performers who slide easily from a beautifully evocative Irish ballad into a mandolin and guitar version of Handel’s Arrival Of the Queen Of Sheba and then have the audience singing one of their own notorious comic songs, but it’s this wry humour and an easy, informal stage manner that holds it all together.
The duo’s musical diversity has led to an equally broad range of festival invitations from Henley Classical Music Festival (England) to the Stephen Leacock Humour Festival (Canada), the Vancouver Folk Festival and countless folk and Celtic festivals throughout the world.
