Alfie Boe formerly known as ‘The Nation’s Favourite Tenor’ has announced details of his second U.K. arena tour for November and December 2014. The tour follows the news of Alfie’s new album Trust which is due for release on November 11^th.

Alfie Boe has moved further away from his traditional operatic repertoire on Trust the follow up to 2012’s hugely successful Storyteller and has never sounded so coolly contemporary. Working with legendary producer Larry Klein, Alfie applies his extraordinary voice to a soulful set of country and blues, folk and gospel, standards and originals such as, Georgia On My Mind, You’ve Got A Friend and Glory, Glory Hallelujah.

This was influenced by his most recent U.K. concert dates, where the repertoire drew on the full range of Boe’s musical interests, from pop to rock to classical to musical theatre. Over the sold-out run of the Storyteller tour, which included two nights at London’s Royal Albert Hall, Boe played to almost 80,000 fans. Given U.K. album sales of well over one million and three Top Ten album, the tour was a triumphant cap to his career – so far.

Not content with just music, Boe is stretching out in other ways too. He’s previously starred on Broadway in film director Baz Luhrmann’s acclaimed staging of La Bohème. This autumn he makes his acting debut. In the upcoming second series of I.T.V.’s hit period drama Mr Selfridge, Boe appears as a tenor named Richard Chapman. In the 1914-set show, he plays a crucial role in one of the storylines in the series about the founder of the eponymous London department store.

The 2014 tour will begin in Newcastle’s Metro Radio Arena on Saturday 29^th November before coming to Liverpool’s Echo Arena on Sunday 30^th November. Tickets go on sale from Friday 8^th November 2013 at 10am. Tickets are available at www.gigsandtours.com on 0844 811 0051 or www.ticketmaster on 0844 8262826.
