I am tremendously honoured to have been asked to sing at the commemorative events to mark the centenary of the Battle of the Somme, at the Thiepval Memorial in France. There will be a military vigil starting at 21:15 on 30th June 2016 where I will be singing ‘The Lads in their Hundreds’ (Butterworth) unaccompanied, and on 1st July 2016 I will sing ‘Abide With Me’ (Monk) for the main National Commemorative Event.
There will be worldwide coverage provided by the BBC and both events will be broadcast live on BBC Two.
