Platinum Celeb Events organised the first The Overtones concert in Crewe with special guest star Jay James, former XFactor UK contestant.

A VIP option for a Meet & Greet with the group and a photo opportunity, taken by Kev Wise Photography, was available that night and took place on stage prior to the concert.

Mark Franks, Mike Crawshaw, Darren Everest, Lachie Chapman and Timmy Matley were in a relaxed and cheerful mood. It was very well organised by Kevin Cooper and the crew of the Crewe Lyceum theatre. The Overtones made sure everyone of their VIP guests had enough time for a bit of smalltalk.

There was a short break between the Meet & Greet and the beginning of the concert outside in the foyer.

Jay James took the stage and he started off with his beautiful cover of “Skyfall”. It was wonderful to see so much passion in his performance and to listen to his stories about his personal life in between songs. His cover of “Say Something” and his very own song “That’s Me” had everyone in awe of his amazing, powerful voice.

Here is his full setlist:

Skyfall (Bond Theme song cover)
500 Miles (The Proclaimers cover)
Fix You (Coldplay cover)
Let’s Get It On
That’s Me
Say Something
You Are The Sea

Jay announced The Overtones right after his set and the five piece vocal harmony group opened their set with “Runaway”. The audience was a bit laid back during the first couple of songs, but Lachie Chapman made sure he had everyone on their feet dancing, singing and clapping along by the time they started to sing “Runaround Sue”. The atmosphere in the theatre was euphoric and the boys on stage had lots of fun interacting with each other and the audience.

Their vocals were on point and their a capella covers were just beautiful. It is always such a pleasure to see the smiles on the boys faces, when they see the audience’s happiness.

We captured some performances for you and put together a playlist on our YouTube channel for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

The Overtones performed a great 21 song selection of their first four albums and everyone we spoke to, left the theatre with a spring in their step and huge grin on their face.

The boys promised to return to the beautiful Crewe Lyceum Theatre for another concert in the near future.
