IT MIGHT seem like the wrong time of year to be making plans for Christmas, but … well, this will be popular.
Aled Jones is teaming up with Russell Watson for a special festive tour and Reading’s Hexagon theatre is one of the stop-off points for the duo.
The tour celebrates their new collaboration, an album of Christmas songs, including 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 there will be a very special rendition of Walking In The Air – released by then boy soprano Aled in 1985.
It will be recorded later this year, and goes on sale at the beginning of November.
Christmas With Aled and Russell is their third album together, following 2018’s In Harmony and 2019’s Back In Harmony, both of which shot straight to number one on the UK Classical Album Chart and the top 10 of the UK Official Album Charts upon release.
They will be appearing at The Hexagon on Tuesday, November 15, and tickets have just gone on sale, costing £57, £44.50, or £34.50
