BLAKE is delighted to be associated with the Roy Castle Fund
Mixing eclectic classical and pop songs with rich harmony vocals, classical ‘boyband’ Blake launched their first album in 2007, just 6 months after reuniting as friends on Facebook. The album went straight to Number One in the UK Classical Album Chart and hit Number 18 in the UK Pop Album Chart, with over 100,000 copies being sold in just three weeks and earning the group their first Gold Disc. The music industry followed in early 2008, when the album received the prestigious Brit-Award for Album of the Year, a huge honour for a group still less than a year old! They have since released two more hit albums and sung at stadia around the world. This autumn they are touring UK theatres on a sell-out tour.

“I am so pleased to be invited to be an Ambassador for The Roy Castle Fund. Like Roy, we have all suffered from tobacco smoke and, until the Government has the courage to ban tobacco or fully fund the treatment of victims, voluntary contributions to such funds will have to be relied upon”.

“Although I never worked with Roy, I know we shared the same beliefs and, of course, he was a brother Water Rat. So I would be delighted to become an Ambassador for The Roy Castle Fund. Thank you for thinking of me. I am most honoured and humbled to be thought worthy”.
