Concert is heaven sent
By Patsy Fuller - 21 March 2008
Coventry Evening Telegraph


All Angels are four teenage singers who burst on to the crossover music scene just two years ago.

They will be hoping to build on their success when they visit Coventry next month for a concert at the cathedral on April 4.

It is part of a tour of British cathedrals and the concert will come just four days before voting closes in their bid to clinch Album of the Year in the 2008 Classical Brit Awards.

Their latest album, Into Paradise, is one of 10 shortlisted for the award, which is being chosen by public vote.

The girls - Melanie Nakhla, 18, Charlotte Ritchie, 18, Laura Wright, 17 and Daisy Chute, 18 - may look almost indistinguishable on their publicity shots, but they insist they have very different personalities and this, they say, helps them create their sound.

They sing a blend of classical and contemporary music and Into Paradise includes reworked covers of hits by Prince and Coldplay as well as new takes on classical favourites by composes such as Elgar, Mozart and Handel.

Up-and-coming New Zealand singer Will Martin, aged 23, will be supporting All Angels at the cathedral concert.

Part of the proceeds will be donated to the Army Benevolent Fund and Brainstrust, a UK charity set up to help people with brain tumours.

Tickets on 0871 271 5151.

I will be there on Friday (along with my mother), although I don't have VIP tickets

I hope they all wear the same dresses as last time, & I wish I could go to this concert (or any of the others) but the flight from here is a little bit too long & my parents wouldn't allow it

I hope to see pics if you are allowed to take them!

Not long now. If I get there early enough and spot you, I will say Hi. Let's hope flybe get their schedule right this afternoon

Hi Everyone,

I am in Coventry and the hotel has internet access... you just know I am going to no money left by tomorrow! Depending on time I may even get a report up tonight.

I have been to the cathedral to take some photo's of the ruins, the new cathedral is very modern and has a glass front, from which I could see and hear the girls rehearsing. I could stay there all afternoon but unfortunatly I have had to come back and get ready!

I know the girls are unlikely to read this before the concert now, I have a surprise for them which I am going to give them tonight - A drawing of them which I have been working on for a month or so and have had framed. I'll post pictures when I get back.

Thank you for your post from Coventry - hope you enjoyed your visit of the city.
A gift for the girls? I look forward to seeing pictures and reading about their reaction

Enjoy the concert and see you tomorrow!

Hi Stephany,

Apart from the Cathedral I couldn't really see much else in Coventry, The ruins were good and I have got some photographs and I was able to go up to the top of the old cathedral tower too.

Anyway, I am off now to the concert, I'm very excited!

Well, I am back from my first ever All Angels concert and it was stunning. From their opening walk-in performing 'Steal Away' the show was fantastic. Dazza will have full details so I won't steal his thunder but it was a fantastic night. They started in cream dresses, switched to Melanie and Charlotte in red and Daisy and Laura in black then the 3rd set were beautiful ankle length dresses in blue, red, green and black. I couldn't pick out one particular song but there was so much class in "Nothing Compares 2U", "Pie Jesu", the song they have renamed "Terminal 5" (if you can work that one out?), and I love the second entrance singing "Swing Low" and the beautifully performed "Windmills Of Your Mind".

The setting worked really well. It would have been fantastic to have the opprtunity to shoot them with the famous tapestry of Christ as a backdrop.

Guests Kathy Leigh and Will Martin were also excellent, I bought Kathy's album on the night and I have definitely got September booked for buying Wil's debut album.

With a great string quartet and Simon on keyboards, its an all round very talented set of people on stage.

A fantastic night, I am sure Dazza will supply info about meeting the girls and the rest of the info later

Hi Keith,

Thanks very much for reporting so soon after the event. It sounds like a great evening. I will think about the song which has been renamed to 'Terminal 5'. It ain't 'Leaving On A Jet Plane', that's for sure!
