YOUR CHANCE TO RECORD WITH BOY GEORGE!

Musician and Entrepreneur Matthew Jones has signed with the legendary artist to record a limited edition EP in aid of Marie Curie Cancer Care.

As lead singer of Culture Club, Boy George became a global superstar in the early 80’s with the classics ‘Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?’ and ‘Karma Chameleon’. Having achieved solo success with such singles as ‘Everything I Own’ and ‘The Crying Game’, he launched an illustrious career as an international DJ and later penned and starred in the West End and Broadway musical ‘Taboo’. 30 years on from his ‘poster boy’ days of the New Romantic era, the icon’s androgynous looks and personal life continue to fascinate the world’s media.

The new release will celebrate the great Italian ballads of the 60’s - in particular, those that became English-version hits including ‘Io Che Non Vivo (Senza Te)’ (Dusty Springfield’s ‘You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me’), ‘Il Mio Mondo’ (Cilla Black’s ‘You’re My World’) and ‘La Vita’ (Shirley Bassey’s ‘This Is My Life’).

A passionate believer that anybody can learn to sing, Matthew is now forming a choir of all ages* and abilities to back the star and a full orchestra in this live recording at the prestigious Ingestre Hall, Staffordshire.

Affirming his belief, Jones most recently formed a choir for an all-star tribute to Dusty Springfield at London’s Royal Albert Hall to critical acclaim.

Rehearsals commence in January in Erdington, Birmingham. Full training will be provided.

* Whilst there is no upper limit, participants must be at least 16 years of age by 25/01/12

Matthew Jones Academy of Song for the singer in you!...........

There's a preconception both publicly and sadly, amongst my peers that singing is something you either can or can't do. Of course there will always be 'naturals' but they are few and far between, even at industry level. For the rest of us it's hard graft. When someone tells me they can't sing, I remind them of the concert pianist who couldn't play before his first lesson. Like the piano the voice is a musical instrument that, with the right teacher can be learned by all. I hold the belief so passionately that I have risked and will continue to risk my career on it. To critical acclaim the Matthew Jones Choir (the industry's public persona) has played some of the UK's finest venues and recorded with the best in the business. Whether you need to start from scratch or simply want to develop your voice the academy has something for the singer in you!
