The Ten Tenors
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ten Tenors (also known as TTT) are an Australian musical ensemble, with a strong live touring profile in Europe, Canada and the United States and a burgeoning recording career. The group performs a diverse repertoire in concert and on their albums; performing Queen standards, including "Bicycle Race", "Bohemian Rhapsody", and "Who Wants to Live Forever", a Bee Gees medley, and ABBA's "Dancing Queen", and switch gears mid-set performing opera tunes and native Australian tunes (including Men at Work). Their most recent album Here's to the Heroes is heavily influenced by the music of John Barry.
The group's official biography says:
The Ten Tenors' album Here's to the Heroes was released on August 26th, 2006. Executive Producers: John Barry, Matthew Hickey, and Ric Salmon. The album was produced by Simon Franglen and was recorded at Air Studios and Abbey Road Studios, London.
