The Pierces To Special Guest At Gary Barlow Royal Albert Hall Shows

Take That star and recently appointed X-Factor head judge Gary Barlow has announced his first UK solo shows in over 11 years. The two concerts, which will take place on December 5th and December 6th will be held at London’s Royal Albert Hall, an all-time favourite venue of Gary’s, and will support disadvantaged young people by raising vital funds for The Prince’s Trust and The Foundation of Prince William and Prince Harry.

The acclaimed singer/songwriter sisters, The Pierces, will be Gary’s special guests on both nights, opening up proceedings with their beautiful harmonies and unique musical sound.
 
One of the UK’s most-loved musicians, a member of one of the biggest and most successful bands the UK has ever produced, an award-winning singer/songwriter and now also a judge on the new series of X-Factor. He has long been a supporter of The Prince’s Trust having donated proceeds from his GB40 show earlier in the year and also attended The Trust’s Rock Gala event in 2010.

Speaking about the concerts, Gary Barlow said. "It’s really important to me that disadvantaged young people get the support they need, especially at the moment. The Prince’s Trust along with The Foundation of Prince William and Prince Harry are both doing great work with young people and I liked the idea of recognising the work of the whole family. I hope the money raised through these concerts will make a real difference to young lives.”

Monies raised from the two concerts will go to The Prince’s Trust and The Foundation of Prince William and Prince Harry. The money raised for The Prince’s Trust will support the charity’s UK City Riots Appeal, helping disadvantaged young people from riot-torn areas to rebuild their lives and communities. The Foundation of Prince William and Prince Harry will also use the funds raised to support disadvantaged young people, which is one of the Foundation’s three core project areas. In particular, it will use the funds to support innovative projects dedicated to providing young people with the tools and aspiration to fulfill their potential.

Martina Milburn, chief executive of The Prince’s Trust, says: “The Prince’s Trust was set up in 1976 following social unrest and high youth unemployment. Today, our work with disadvantaged young people is more relevant than ever – with riots in our cities and the number of jobless young people at a record high. We are enormously grateful to Gary Barlow for helping us to raise funds for such a timely cause.”

‘Gary Barlow in Concert’ will be Gary’s first full solo shows since 1999 and will see him perform songs from his incredible music career spanning over 20 years.
