Young Voices Concert Tour 2013

Connie Talbot will be performing in the UK as a celebrity guest star in the Young Voices concert tour 2013 later this month. The dates are listed below.

This is the second year in a row that Connie has featured as a guest in this series.

Connie has just returned from her amazing 3 week tour of south east Asia, promoting her new album Beautiful World, so she will have a couple of weeks rest before she starts into this UK tour.

Young Voices, now in its 16th year, provides a unique opportunity for thousands of children to participate in a large arena concert.
You can find more details about the Young Voices initiative here http://www.youngvoices.co.uk/
Being present at a Young Voices concert is an unforgettable experience - and it's loud! (If you don't believe us, scroll down now to watch the video below.)

Most of the tickets are sold to parents and friends of the children in the choirs, but usually there are a few tickets left over for sale to the public. Check with the individual venues for availability.

Young Voices make their own professionally produced DVDs of the events for sale, so naturally they discourage people from recording the concerts. This means that a lot of the videos of YV on YouTube are rather shaky and distant, using hand-held phones etc.

However, last year a member of Connie's team, Daniel Smart, was allowed to film one of Connie's performances using a tripod-held HD camera at the LG Arena, Birmingham, England. Connie Talbot sings "Run" by Snow Patrol, a song that means a lot to her, and which she performed with the backing of thousands of young singers.

Connie's "Price Tag" Video Reaches Half Million Views

Connie's "Price Tag" home video has just reached over 500,000 (half a million) views on YouTube. It was uploaded on August 27th, 2011 when Connie was 10 years old.

If you listen very carefully, you might just hear someone ringing the doorbell!

You probably will also notice that Connie is wearing a thick woolly sweater even though the video was made in the middle of the summer. That gives you some idea of what the weather in England can be like occasionally. :)

Best wishes from Connie's team :)

Beautiful World Arrived Today

Hi everyone, this is Simon. You may remember me - I'm one of the people on Connie's team.

I just received Connie's BEAUTIFUL WORLD album in the mail. Today is the 27th, and it was only released on the 26th, so it seems to have taken only one day to travel all the way from Evo88 in Hong Kong to reach me in England!

Evo88 say they can ship for free to any country worldwide. So if you live in the USA or Europe, you should be able to get the CD from them, just as I did. Just go to the Evo88 website - it's very easy, and you can use PayPal if you want to.

It will be on iTunes soon of course, but it's nice to also have the CD with the case and photos. And there's a book of lyrics with lots of pictures that comes with the CD.

If you can't decide between the CD or iTunes download, then why not be like me - go for both of them!

Best wishes,

Simon

Connie works with Toby Gad

In June, Connie made her second visit of this year to Los Angeles, and stayed for just over a week. She spent much of the time in the recording studio, where she was working with the legendary multi-Grammy award winning song writer/producer Toby Gad.

This picture shows Toby and Connie during a break in recording sessions.

Connie also found time while she was in L.A. to visit Disneyland and other interesting places. At the end of her visit, when Connie was on her way to the airport to catch her flight home to England, we asked her what she thought was the most amazing thing that happened during her stay in America. Without any hesitation, she replied, "Definitely the most amazing thing was working with Toby Gad in the recording studio!"
