Aled Jones & Russell Watson Reunite For Christmas UK Tour | York Barbican

Two of the world’s greatest classical voices, Aled Jones and Russell Watson, reunite for Christmas 2022 with a brand-new album.

Performing together again following a three-year hiatus, the powerhouse duo will also embark on a colossal UK tour this November and December and visit York Barbican on 6 Dec 2022.

Christmas With Aled and Russell features new recordings of 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.

The album is also set to feature a very special rendition of Walking In The Air - released by then boy soprano Aled in 1985 - the duo will record this iconic track together, especially for the album.

Aled Jones comments, “After a crazy couple of years for us all, I can’t wait to be reunited with my mate Russell again for our third album together! I’ll always be associated with Christmas, so it’s an honour to be working with him. We always have a blast on tour, so getting to sing our favourite Christmas songs together in so many stunning venues later this year will be a real treat! You never know, Traffic Cone might even make an appearance…and hopefully Chicago has given Russ the chance to brush up on his dancing skills!”

Russell Watson adds, “Aled and I had a great time recording our first two albums, so I’m immensely excited to be back in the studio together working on our third. We had a really tough time choosing from so many magnificent Christmas songs, but we’ve whittled it down to a fabulous selection of tracks which truly mean something to us both. And to get to share a stage again during our UK tour later this year will be such a special experience after three years apart. I hope Christmas With Aled and Russell is on all of your Christmas lists, and I can’t wait to see you all on tour throughout November and December!”

Christmas With Aled and Russell succeeds their first two albums, 2018’s In Harmony and 2019’s Back In Harmony, both of which shot straight to #1 on the UK Classical Album Chart and the top 10 of the UK Official Album Charts upon release.

Aled Jones is the original classical crossover star, having been at the top of his game for over 40 years. Becoming one of the world’s most successful boy sopranos at the age of 12, he has since released over 40 albums and has more than 40 silver, gold and platinum discs.

Most recently he released Blessings, a multi-faith album featuring songs from a range of different religions and starred on ITV’s hit show The Masked Singer as “Traffic Cone”. He has also forged an extensive career as a TV & Radio presenter, currently hosting his own weekly show on Classic FM and the BBC’s Songs of Praise. 

Russell Watson’s debut album The Voice saw him hold the top spot in the UK charts for an unprecedented 52 weeks in 2001, while also topping the charts in the USA, making him the first British male artiste to attain a simultaneous transatlantic #1.

Throughout his incredible career, he has performed for some of the world’s leading figures, including HM The Queen, the late Pope John Paul II, and former US Presidents Bill Clinton, George W Bush and Barack Obama.

Natalie Boare chats to Aled Jones & Russell Watson

Classical singers Aled Jones & Russell Watson say they recorded their latest Christmas album in the blazing heat in July. "It was 38 degrees outside and you could literally see the steam from the tarmac as I start singing I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas," says Russell.

The pair have come together to record the tracks and are on tour with their festive favourites across the region.

Aled says: "After everything that has gone on over the last few years people want any excuse to feel good and our show is unashamedly Christmas."

Between them they've performed for royalty, presidents and the Pope and they have become great friends over the years.

Aled told ITV News: "We're best mates, we're always together, on tour anyway, always on the phone with one another and for me personally, I love having Russ as a friend in the industry. It's very rare that that happens that you're very close to someone and we're very similar, we like a laugh. "

Aled Jones found fame at the age of 14 with 'Walking in the Air' the song from the animated Christmas classic, 'The Snowman'.

Aled says he can't believe it's still such a popular festive song, "I went into a studio to record an advert, I'd only learnt 30 seconds of it.

But when I was at college I was always embarrassed when it was on and stuff but now I'm 51 and I can cope with it really and the great thing is I get to sing it every night with my mate now."

Russell took part in 'I'm a Celebrity Get me out of Here' in 2020 when it was in the Castle. Russell says. "There was a great vibe in camp and I really enjoyed it, I mean I didn't enjoy living on 600 calories a day ... but once you got through that I really enjoyed it."

Both Jones & Watson like to have fun with both appearing in ITV's The Masked Singer. Aled was Traffic Cone and Russell says he knew straight away it was him.

Aled says, "The second week my kids watched it and my son went 'Oh no that's you isn't it?'

As for their Christmas plans the pair say they'll be chilling out spending time with their family after touring in the lead-up.

Christmas with Aled & Russell is out now.

Aled Jones & Russell Watson In Harmony Tour

aled jones russell watson tour

FINAL CURTAIN CALL This show is no longer running.

Aled Jones and Russell Watson will be taking the record on the road for their first ever joint UK and Ireland tour, bringing their live experience to The London Palladium .

As two of the classical world’s vocal powerhouses, Aled and Russell have received countless prestigious awards, record-breaking sales and chart successes. Over his extraordinary 30 year career, Aled’s outstanding performances have made smash-hit box office history. He is the original crossover star and has sung for the Pope and the Royal Family, received an MBE, released over 30 albums – with over 10 million album sales and counting – and has over 40 silver, gold and platinum discs. After beginning his career at the age of 12, Aled became one of the world’s most successful boy sopranos, releasing 12 hit albums in 4 years with the defining moment being Walking in the Air , the hit song from the family-favourite, Christmas animated film The Snowman .

As a broadcaster, Aled has forged an extensive career, having presented across BBC Radio 2 & 3 and BBC Radio Wales. Aled also hosts the Classic FM Sunday Breakfast Show and has become a popular favourite on the station and enjoyed his own show ITV Weekend .

Despite humble beginnings, Russell’s exceptional voice has led him to become one of Britain’s most popular and biggest-selling classical stars – triumphing on both sides of the Atlantic, spending 52 consecutive weeks at No.1 in the UK and the US classical charts at the same time. With over seven million albums sold, he has achieved six top ten albums and received four Classic BRIT Awards.

Like Aled, Russell has performed for some of the world’s most notable figures including the Royal Family, the Pope, former US presidents Bill Clinton and George W Bush, the Emperor of Japan and in front a of a worldwide audience of one billion at the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in 2002.

Aled and Russell’s friendship began almost 20 years ago. Their instant camaraderie and professional mutual admiration made for the perfect pairing and, no doubt, to the delight of their hundreds of thousands of fans across the globe, they are happy to announce their first album together, In Harmony – A testament to the popularity and talent of the UK’s finest classical voices, featuring a cherry-picked repertoire of personal favourites.

A Joyful Holiday

6 SONGS • 24 MINUTES • OCT 27 2023

  • TRACKS TRACKS
  • DETAILS DETAILS

Samara Joy is an American jazz singer from New York City whose velvety style and throaty alto reflect the golden era of interpretive genre vocalists from the 1930s through the mid-'60s, including Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, and Billie Holiday. Her repertoire is comprised mainly of vintage jazz and pop standards. Joy's eponymous, highly acclaimed debut album appeared on the London-based indie Whirlwind Recordings in 2021 when she was 21. After festival and touring appearances, she guested on recordings by the Bruce Harris Quartet and Pasquale Grasso. She signed to Verve for 2022's Linger Awhile, an album that spurred two Grammy Award wins, including Best New Artist. A companion album, Linger Awhile Longer, arrived in 2023, as did the singer's first Christmas-themed album, Joyful Holiday.

Samara Joy McLendon was born in the Bronx in 1998. Her father, Antonio Charles McLendon, is a bassist, producer, and songwriter who toured with Andre Crouch and the Disciples. Her grandparents, Elder Goldwire and Ruth McLendon, led the Philly-based gospel quartet the Savettes. She credits her father with introducing her to singers from Betty Carter and Dinah Washington to gospel's Clark Sisters and Kirk Franklin. Joy grew up singing in church, and became a worship leader at 16. She was first introduced to jazz while attending Fordham High School for the Arts, where she performed regularly with the jazz band and eventually won Best Vocalist at an Essentially Ellington Competition. After hearing Sarah Vaughan's version of "Lover Man," she enrolled in a jazz studies program at SUNY Purchase and won the Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition in 2019. It earned her a tuition-free scholarship from the Ella Fitzgerald Foundation. She graduated with degrees in jazz composition and arrangement. To thank the institution, Pete Malinverni, head of jazz studies at SUNY Purchase, asked Joy to film a Fitzgerald song with him playing piano. The two cut their parts separately, and the performances were combined on a reading of "Take Love Easy." The video went viral.

Buoyed by encouragement from producer Matt Pierson, Joy undertook a GoFundMe campaign and raised enough money to record her eponymous debut album in a matter of days. With Pierson producing, she enlisted guitarist Pasquale Grasso's trio (all affiliated with SUNY Purchase), drummer Kenny Washington, and bassist Ari Roland to cut her self-titled debut for Whirlwind Recordings. Arriving in July 2021, Samara Joy was composed entirely of standards. It won global accolades, and she was rewarded with gigs throughout Manhattan's jazz club scene and a concert performance at that year's Newport Jazz Festival with Grasso, Washington, pianist Ben Paterson, and bassist David Wong.

Joy signed with Verve and recruited the same crew of musicians and Pierson to record her label debut. She appeared on "I'm a Mess," the first single off Grasso's charting Be-Bop in June 2022, and issued her own Linger Awhile in September. The release was named Best Jazz Vocal Album at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards. More importantly, Joy won the coveted Best New Artist award. A deluxe version of the album arrived the following year, as did Linger Awhile Longer, the latter of which showcased the bonus material from the original sessions, including several duets with pianist Gerald Clayton.

Also in 2023, she released her first holiday-themed album, Joyful Holiday, which found her backed by pianist Sullivan Fortner along with her returning ensemble of guitarist Grasso, bassist Wong, and drummer Washington. "Tight," a non-album single released before Joyful Holiday, was nominated for Best Jazz Performance at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards. ~ Thom Jurek

The John and Catherine Christian House, Samara

In the early 1950s, Purdue University professor Dr. John Christian and his wife Catherine dreamed of a home that would serve both their desire to entertain faculty, staff, and students and be a lasting structure that would grow with their family. Research, perseverance, and a touch of luck led the Christians to Frank Lloyd Wright with whom they built their dream home.

The John and Catherine Christian House, commonly known as Samara, is one of the most complete Frank Lloyd Wright homes in the United States. Nestled in one of Indiana’s most historically significant cities, the 2,200 square-foot Samara was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 2015. The home affords national and international visitors of all ages the rare and immersive opportunity to experience Mr. Wright’s fully realized Usonian design just as if they were guests of the family.

Samara, named for the winged seeds found in pinecones, was completed in 1956 near the end of Mr. Wright’s career. The home was built on a modest budget and with the caveat that the clients would see the famous architect’s designs through to full completion.

John and Catherine held true to this commitment and the architect’s vision. Samara is an approachable and educational work of art that proudly features more than 40 of Mr. Wright’s architectural innovations and plays host to thousands of visitors annually.

Today, Indiana Landmarks co-stewards Samara with the John E. Christian Family Memorial Trust, Inc., working to preserve the extraordinary property and share its remarkable story.

Halfway between two of America’s most architecturally important cities

Samara is located close to Interstate 65 in West Lafayette, Indiana (the home of Purdue University). This places it approximately halfway between Chicago, Illinois and Columbus, Indiana, two of America’s most architecturally important cities.

A trip to Samara pairs perfectly with a visit to one of the area’s local restaurants or cultural attractions .
