Brian May And Kerry Ellis Announce 'Candlelit Christmas' UK Tour
Tuesday, 12 July 2016
Written by Laura Johnson
Brian May and Kerry Ellis have announced their Candlelit Christmas UK tour.
The Queen guitarist and musical theatre star will head to Dorking, Worthing, Buxton, Leeds, Manchester, Preston, Coventry, Cheltenham, Bristol, Eastbourne and Guildford between December 7 and 23. Tickets will go on general sale at 9.00am on July 15.
The trek marks the duo's sixth tour together since they first teamed up in 2011 for the Anthems tour, off the back of Ellis' debut album, which May produced. In addition to songs from their back catalogue, the shows will also feature new tracks from their forthcoming sophomore album, 'Anthems II', which they've been working on for the last year.
Discussing the upcoming shows, Ellis said:
“Our show is definitely an experience; we like to move people, give them new experiences and take them on our personal journey, and we have a lot of fun. Brian always comes up with great stories to explain our choice of songs, and among them a lot of hidden gems that people have never heard before. We like to think it’s a very unique and special evening.”
While May added:
“Our show is largely acoustic and usually performed by candlelight. It’s very loose and interactive. In contrast to the bombast of a Queen show, our relationship with the audience is very informal – truly live and spontaneous. This is now my favourite way of performing – it’s a lot of fun and anything can happen. It takes some courage, but we believe our audience loves the fact that we take the risk to run the show completely ‘wild’. No clicks, no loops, no clutter. It’s fundamentally just a voice and a guitar.”
