A MULTI-PLATINUM selling vocal harmony group are set to return to Carlisle for a big summer concert.

The Overtones will head back to the county as part of their 11th nationwide tour next July.

The group, who formed in 2010, have sold five top 10 albums over the course of the last nine years, and have appeared on dozens of television shows across the country and Europe, including Dancing On Ice, BBC Breakfast and This Morning.

They are formed of Mike Crawshaw, Darren Everest, Mark Franks, and Jay James.

The four-piece will take to the stage at The Sands Centre in Carlisle on Wednesday,

July 1.

After headlining at world renowned venues like The London Palladium and the Royal Albert Hall, The Overtones have built a name for themselves as one of the UK’s most prolific live acts.

From performing at the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee at Buckingham Palace to singing at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin in front of one million people, they have entertained at some of the biggest events on the planet.

Earlier this year, the group welcomed Jay as a new member.

Jay rose to fame working with the likes of John Legend and was a finalist on The X Factor back in 2014.

The fresh addition heralds the start of an exciting new era for music group.

Vocalist Mike Crawshaw said: “We love performing classic songs and favourites from our albums, there will be plenty of surprises on tour next summer.

“Over the last 11 years we’ve learnt a thing or two about throwing a party.

“People come to our shows to let their hair down, get their spirits up and dance their hearts out.

“We want everyone to leave an Overtones concert with a huge smile on their face and a spring in their step.

“Next year will be our best tour yet.”

The group’s music is an eclectic mix of pre-rock ’n’ roll classicism and modern pop, with songs such as Beggin’, Runaway, Pretty Woman and Superstar.

Tickets for their Carlisle concert will go on general sale tomorrow at 10am.
