MULTI award-winning vocal outfit Sons of Pitches are out and about on a UK tour with their new show 100 Number One Hits.

Included in the Sons set are fast paced medleys and mind bending mashups as the boys attempt to hit their tuneful target of 100 legendary tracks in just one evening.

From Michael Jackson to The Beatles, Abba to Eminem, the show should appeal to music lovers of all ages, playing Kendal's Brewery Arts Centre on Saturday (October 27, 7.30pm).

With more than three million YouTube hits and a growing international reputation, it's fair to say that the Sons have upped the ante for a cappella.

Since they got together in 2010, Joe Novelli, Joe Hinds, Jamie Hughes, Joe Belham, Josh Mallett and Midé Naike, have established themselves as one of the premiere vocal groups working in the UK.

The boys shot to fame in November 2015 when they were crowned winners of the BBC2 singing contest The Naked Choir, hosted by Gareth Malone, as their combination of soaring solos, impeccable harmonies and stunning beatboxing - mixed with a fair helping of comedy - captivated viewers' imaginations.

With a programme of inventive pop covers, original numbers and entertaining improvised songs, the Sons have performed at both public and private engagements with headline performances at Hampton Court, the NEC Birmingham, Vale Fest, Greenwich Festival and international events in Hong Kong, Austria, Spain and the USA, together with a sell-out debut run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

In addition, the Sons completed three hugely successful UK tours throughout 2016 and 2017, performing 72 shows to more than 60,000 fans.

More recently, they starred as the house band on Sky1's TV entertainment series Sing: Ultimate A Cappella, presented by Cat Deeley, who apparently posted a picture of her with the band captioned 'My favourite guys in the whole wide world.'

Looking forward to the 100 hits tour, the Sons said it was going to be their biggest, best and most ambitious show yet. "We wanted to create a spectacle that would pay homage to some legendary artists while blowing away anyone who came to see it.

"Expect all kinds of genres, a bit of comedy and the odd tear jerker. We'll be singing iconic songs from start to finish as well as juggling numerous hits in massive medleys. The audience will have to keep an eye on the counter clock to see how many we've got left to sing. Come along and count the hits."
