ALED TOURS AUSTRALIA AND ONE VOICE - BELIEVE IS RELEASED

ALED JONES & 12-YEAR-OLD SON LUCAS TO APPEAR IN AUSTRALIA THIS SEPTEMBER 2018.
RELEASES THE FINAL ALBUM IN HIS BEST-SELLING ONE VOICE SERIES - ONE VOICE BELIEVE

• Featuring the all new composition Believe, written by Aled
• Newly recorded duets with his younger self including Ave Maria and Pie Jesu
• Special trio recording of The Lord is My Shepherd with Aled – both as man and boy – and his son Lucas
• Featuring An Australian Blessing, composed by Australia's Richard Mills
• Plus unearthed bonus tracks of newly discovered tapes featuring Aled’s very first recordings at the age of 10

One of Australian audiences' favourite singers and presenters, Aled Jones MBE, returns this spring to complete what has been an extraordinary journey.
The final instalment in his One Voice album trilogy – One Voice: Believe – is released on Decca Records on 20 July.
The first two albums in the series dominated the Australian ARIA Classical Charts.
A collection of spiritual classics, One Voice: Believe sees Aled duet with his younger self – man and boy – and features a few special surprises. Highlights include Richard Mill’s An Australian Blessing, Handel’s Did You Not Hear My Lady?, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Pie Jesu, Franz Schubert’s Ave Maria and the traditional hymn Morning Has Broken. Once again, the album is produced by Ian Tilley.
As befitting to the finale in the series, the album features the life affirming Believe. Written by Aled himself, the song – his first ever composition – is a soaring number, sure to become a fan favourite.
Alongside this, also for the very first time, the Songs of Praise presenter is joined by his 12-year-old son Lucas, to duet on one of Aled’s favourites hymns, The Lord is My Shepherd, composed by Howard Goodall. An incredibly tender and heartfelt rendition, the hymn reminds of us of the strength and belief that can be inspired through song.
Aled explains: “This is the final part of what has been an extraordinary journey. Over 30 years on from my first recording as a chorister in Bangor Cathedral, I have enjoyed reliving so many memories from my childhood over the last year and a half.”
“To be able to sing with my younger boy voice has been such an emotional experience,” he continues. “On a personal level, this album will forever be extra special to me, as I share one song with my son Lucas. He’s never wanted to sing and has never had a single lesson, but fancied having a go before his voice breaks. Who am I to stop him – and the resulting duet melts my heart! It’s something for him to look back on in the future”.

ALED JONES LAUNCHES SEARCH FOR LOCAL CHOIRS TO JOIN HIM ON HIS UK MAY 2017 TOUR

Singer, TV presenter and radio broadcaster Aled Jones MBE is set to tour the UK this Spring.
A nationwide search is being launched to find local choirs from all ages, to join him at each venue.
Famed as the boy star that stole the hearts of the nation with his legendary performance of ‘Walking In The Air’, Aled is hoping to discover new talent from across the UK and will be inviting his favourite choirs to join him on stage at each performance for a once in a lifetime opportunity to perform with him.
2016 was an incredible year for Aled as he released hit album ‘One Voice’. Week on week it ascended the pop chart to a staggering no.3 position. It held the no.1 spot on the classical chart for 14 weeks and has now sold over 72,000 copies, gaining silver BPI status. In fact Aled sold more than former One Direction Star Zayn Malik during their first week of sales. Combined with the sales from his Christmas album ‘One Voice at Christmas’, Aled was the best selling Classical artist of 2016.
Aled said: ‘’I'm really excited about hitting the road again and singing in these fabulous venues. I’m a firm believer that we have the greatest choral tradition here in the U.K. And I’m really excited to be sharing the stage and singing with some of our greatest choirs. I hope as many groups as possible send in their videos!’’
Aled has his own Sunday morning radio show on Classic FM 7-10am and is due to return to his ITV1 show 'Weekend' every Saturday and Sunday morning as well as being a regular on BBC One on Songs of Praise and a new series of 'Going Back, Giving Back'.The tour is set to visit the following venues across the UK:
