A FORMER Miss England is teaming up with Aled Jones and Russell Watson for their pre-Christmas show, which is coming to The Hexagon next week.
Natasha Hemmings is a graduate of the Royal Northern College of Music, joining when she was just 14.
She graduated with an understanding of classical and operatic music, whilst also exploring different genres, and returned to undertake a popular music undergraduate degree, with a focus on songwriting and recording.
In 2015, she entered the Miss England contest in an effort to gain confidence and a sense of self. This role helped her work with the Variety Club, raising funds for Millstead, a special needs school in Liverpool.
Aled and Russell’s show, on Tuesday, November 15, celebrates their new album, Christmas With Aled and Russell.
It features new recordings of universally beloved Christmas songs, including traditional carols such as O Holy Night, O Little Town of Bethlehem and In The Bleak Midwinter, alongside festive favourites including White Christmas, It’s Beginning To Look At Lot Like Christmas, Little Drummer Boy, and Mistletoe and Wine.
And Natasha says she has a good reason for looking forward to joining the duo on their tour.
“Christmas is such a special time of year for all of us and I am so excited to be joining Aled and Russell on their tour,” she said.
“It is especially magical for me as a Christian to be sharing the true meaning of Christmas.
“I hope to bring everyone together singing our favourite festive songs and celebrating the spirit of Christmas, remembering all of our blessings at this time.”
Aled and Russell said: “We’re thrilled Natasha is joining us again on tour. She’s a wonderful singer and a joy to have around. You are in for a real treat.”
Natasha is currently in the studio working on her new faith based album, due in 2023.
Tickets for the show are currently available, from £34.50.
