Celebrating 10 years together as band, The Overtones rocked into Southend for the fourth show of their latest “Christmas Party” concert tour. Christmas is a very important time of the year for The Overtones. They know that their legions of (largely female) fans have been looking forward to their chance to celebrate, and the boys were, by all account, revved up and ready to give their adoring audience the night out they had been waiting for.
However, the packed crowd were treated to a support act in the shape of the very talented singer/songwriter Ben McKelvey. Surely there can be no tougher job than walking on to a stage to entertain an audience who are impatient to see a headline act, and are made to wait a little longer while someone else performs first? It really takes some special skills to connect and win over a crowd in these circumstances.
Placed at the very front centre of the stage, in a single spot light, Ben picked up his guitar. As soon as he played and sang his opening few bars we knew that here was an act who was not going to apologise for being there. “I’m here to warm you up“, he announces. His vocals are strong and wow, he can really play that guitar. I was sure the strings had to be re-enforced in some way to stop them disintegrating under the pressure of his strumming. McKelvey’s material is very attractive and easy to listen to. Johnny Cash’s classic “Ring of Fire” was also thrown in for us all to sing along to. He also has great ability to chat and gave us an insight about how tough it is to make that break into show business, and how a little chat from his dad had inspired him to carry on. His 25 minute set went by in a flash, and after a short break to clear the stage it was time to welcome the main event of the evening.
The Overtones have been through some changes over the years. They were once a “Fab Five“ but are now a more streamlined, slick and sexy “Awesome Foursome.” After a number of years on the road, there must be a great deal of pressure to keep delivering a fresh and exciting show, and from the moment the four boys hit the stage, it was pretty apparent that they were not going to rest on their laurels. They sang, danced, and gyrated through a string of well known Motown and soul hits, most of which are familiar enough to get you clapping, tapping and singing along. You To Me Are Everything, Pretty Woman, and many others all flash by, with Jersey Boys-style choreography constantly keeping the songs moving.
The Overtones now feature Mike Crawshaw, Mark Franks and Darren Everest. This tour introduces newbie Jay James to the line-up. Had I not been told he was new to the group, I would never have known. In fact, Jay has been a familiar face on their tours before, and often supported them, but not been part of the group until now. Maybe this is part of the reason why he fits in so well. If anything, his cheeky personality and energy seem to have given the group a real injection of energy, and the lads were clearly having a ball up there.
All four singers have great voices, with Darren on the high-lying, Frankie Valli-like falsetto, and Jay not far behind on tenor. In fact I found their voices quite similar, and complimented each other well. Mike and Mark form the lower part of the blend, but the group is now quite top heavy and have lost the anchor of having a bass in the mix. In fact, at the start, with the sound levels jacked up very high there was some distortion, which was a shame. Does the sound really need be so loud in a medium size venue such as the Cliffs Pavilion?
The whole group have clearly worked very hard on the musical side of their performance, and for me, they were at their most effective when they sat down together stopped moving for a while, and sang some calmer ballads, such as the evergreen hit, Moon River. At moments like these, you can really hear what accomplished singers they all are, and how good their blend is. I would like more of these gentler, listening opportunities built in to the show please!
The Overtones have released an EP of Christmas songs especially for the tour, and before the interval they sang their truly captivating new arrangement of Howard Blake’s Walking In The Air which generated a really great atmosphere together with stunning lighting. A real coup for the band.
The second half soon had the audience back on their feet again, for a real party atmosphere. The boys treated the crowd to more songs from their EP, and towards the end of the night, confirmed their Jersey Boys-like style with a tremendous performance of You’re Just To Good To Be True. They followed this up with a great new version of September the Earth Wind & Fire hit, which is also the first song to be recorded with new boy, Jay James, so a significant moment for the band.
It is clear that The Overtones have a very special relationship with their audience in Southend, Indeed, Darren himself is Essex born and regards the Cliffs as his home venue, and it was clear how much singing at this venue meant to him.
Before the end of the show, the boys ventured out into the auditorium for a great romp round, whilst posing for a few selfies without missing beat of the song. They had the audience literally yelling for more and it is clear this very talented band will be making quite a few more circuits of the country yet as their huge fan base is in no mood to let them go.
A great high-octane evening of entertainment with great support from their fabulous four piece band.
See you next year lads!!

As they prepare for their annual Christmas Party tour in December, The Overtones announce the release of their Christmas EP. The multi-platinum-selling vocal harmony group quartet - Darren Everest, Mark Franks, Mike Crawshaw and new member Jay James – have recorded a perfect festive treat that captures the magic of the season and provides a glimpse of the tour ahead.
New arrangements of ‘Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)’, ‘This Christmas’, and ‘Walking In The Air’ sit alongside a version of Earth Wind & Fire’s ‘September’ which was the first song recorded by the new line up. With four-part harmonies to the fore and their ubiquitous sense of joy shining through, the Christmas EP will be released on November 29th and can be ordered from https://listnin.co/TOChristmas.

Southend Theatre Scene's roving reporter, Andrew Walters, was given the task of finding out more from the boys and speaks to Darren, Jay and Mark over the phone while they were travelling in the car - we hope Mike was driving!
Andrew: Hello Darren, I’ve discovered that you’re from Essex. Is that right?
Darren: Yes, I’m the Essex boy of the group! I was actually born in Leytonstone but I was brought up in Chigwell and all around there. There were a lot of summer days spent in Southend at Peter Pan’s Playground.
Andrew: Does Southend hold a particularly excitement for you when you come down to sing here?
Darren: 100%. It’s one of the most important dates for me in the tour calendar. It’s always the first to sell out which makes me really proud and I always have about fifty friends and family in the audience. I ’m not just saying this, but for all the boys, the Cliffs Pavilion is one of their favourite venues to come to. A lot of greats have trodden the boards over the years there. It just feels really lovely.
Andrew: The tour is fast approaching so what stage are you at with the rehearsals?
Darren: We’re in the thick of it now, we’ve been doing choreography rehearsals for the past two weeks, and tomorrow we go into production rehearsals with the band for three days. It will all come together by then, we hope!
Andrew: When do you start planning your tour? You do a Christmas show every year.
Darren: We’ve become a staple in people’s Christmas. We manage ourselves so there’s never really any time to sit back and relax. There’s no down time. We’re in charge of our own destiny if you like. We do everything from designing the poster, organising the photoshoots, to choosing the clothes and choosing the songs. We wouldn’t have it any other way. That way we’ve got no-one else to blame. This year we started rehearsals 3 or 4 weeks before hand so it would be all fresh and feel that we will get on stage with our best show yet.
Andrew: Do you have any favourite Christmas songs or do you think we’ll do some new ones this year?
Darren: We’ve got the EP out so there’s three Christmas songs on there which we’re really excited about. We did a version of ‘Walking In The Air’ as it’s such a classic, done in such a stylised way. We’ve made it our own. When we did that in the studio it was a special moment. We can’t wait for people, for people to hear it!
I’ve got the rest of the guys in the car with me too by the way!
Andrew: Oh! How exciting! What do you guys do to keep yourselves fit and not catch colds while you're on tour in winter time?
Darren: Jay’s just gone Vegan. He’s our new boy. We’ve welcomed him with open arms. He’s injected some great positivity into the band and is living his best life at the moment! We go to the gym; we try and eat healthily. Eat plenty of fruit, drink plenty of water and wake up on the right side of the bed.
Andrew: Hello Jay. How difficult has it been learning all the music since you joined the band?
Jay: It’s been an absolute nightmare! I’ve learned 2 songs and I’ve got another 25 to learn by Monday! I’m not sure how I’m going to do it!
Seriously, it’s been an absolute pleasure as I’ve know the boys for about 10 years now. I’m a big fan anyway and I know all the music, all the old classics, so it’s a real pleasure to be able to stand in the line with the boys and perform. They’re professionals, and they know what they’re doing and they do it well. ( They told me to say that ! )
Andrew: You all sound in fine spirits considering you’re all working so hard.
Jay: We consider it an honour to do what we do and we don’t take it for granted. I think that’s why The Overtones have lasted as long as they have.
Andrew: There are a lot of male harmony groups out there. What do you guys put into it that makes you different?
Jay: Well, of course there is only one that matters! I believe the boys have had so much success over the last 9 years and they love what they do. They never compromise what they do. It’s all about performing great music to great people and giving them a moment so they can escape their lives. I think it’s rare in this industry to have a 9 year span and sell over a million records and performing to sell-out crowds every single year. The Overtones family is exactly that. It’s a family. The people round the UK love this family and they love what they do.
When we performed at Potters, it was a great privilege to perform on stage, then we had a meet and greet for 2 hours. People have come out of their homes and travelled. Some people have come from as far as America to see the show.
Darren: Yes, I’m the Essex boy of the group! I was actually born in Leytonstone but I was brought up in Chigwell and all around there. There were a lot of summer days spent in Southend at Peter Pan’s Playground.
Andrew: Does Southend hold a particularly excitement for you when you come down to sing here?
Darren: 100%. It’s one of the most important dates for me in the tour calendar. It’s always the first to sell out which makes me really proud and I always have about fifty friends and family in the audience.

Andrew: Is there a lead singer or do you share the tunes?
Mark: Well, we’ve all got such a different timbre to our voices so we all offer a different sound. We all come together with our harmonies and we blend so well. We all add a different colour or texture to the songs. Over the nine years we’re all singing better than ever.
Jay: The Overtones are like a Chinese buffet; there’s something for everyone!
Darren: I sing falsetto, but, we found this out in the studio, Mike can actually sing higher than me. The boys have quite a range but I’ve got the nicest sounding falsetto [they all laugh)]. They just have to kick me in the “prawn balls" to get my voice up there!!
Andrew: What’s the best and worst thing about touring?
Darren: The worst thing about touring would be being away from your family, and the best thing is being away from your family! [laughs] The best thing is, genuinely, being with your best mates and making people smile. We put a smile on people’s faces. We get messages from people saying what a hard time they’re going through. They can switch off for and hour and half or so, for our show. That’s one thing we don’t take for granted.
Andrew: It must be a great feeling turning up to a venue and knowing that everyone is looking forward to seeing you.
Darren: It’s not something we’re used to and I don’t think we’ll ever get used to it. Long may it continue.
Andrew: What’s your favourite Christmas song?
Darren: The EP is now available on Spotify, and apart from Baby Will You Please Come Home, This Christmas, and Walking In The Air, it's probably the first song we recorded with Jay as the new “Awesome Foursome” called “September, the Earth Wind And Fire classic.
Andrew: Awesome Foursome - I like it!
There was an interview in Hello Magazine about Jay joining the band and they used the phrase “Awesome Foursome", so we thought, we’ll keep that one!

Interview by Andrew Walters
The Overtones proudly announce new band member - Jay James – and promise ‘best tour yet’
Multi-platinum-selling vocal harmony group The Overtones are delighted to announce that Welsh singer & songwriter Jay James has joined the band. The announcement heralds the start of an exciting new era for the group which has had 5 top 10 albums, 9 sold out UK tours and will now embark on a UK tour this December. Tickets go on sale Friday July 5th, 2019 at 10am from gigsandtours.com
A former Royal Navy serviceman, Jay had enjoyed a varied recording career working with the likes of Booker T Jones, John Legend, Naughty Boy and the Jonas Brothers (amongst others) before rising to prominence as Simon Cowell’s tip on the X Factor. Since then Jay has continued to record music and perform as well as becoming an established broadcaster.
“We met Jay 9 years ago when we all performed on the charity record (Songs To Save A Life) for The Samaritans, and our paths continuously crossed over the years” explains Darren Everest. “When we thought about a new member joining the band he was the first, and only, name that came to mind. Everything about Jay says ‘Overtone’. He has a classic style and is inspired by the same great artists as we all are. Jay has fitted in seamlessly and we can’t wait to push on and get to work.”
Speaking about joining The Overtones Jay says “I’ve known the boys and been a fan for many years now and it has always been clear what they were all about - making great, timeless music, putting on incredible shows and enjoying life! Over the years that has never changed. I’ve been blessed to support them on a number of occasions, and I've witnessed the joy they bring and felt the warmth of some of the best fans I’ve ever met. To now join the group is absolute magic and I cannot wait to stand beside Darren, Mike & Mark in creating some more brilliant nights & continuing to make people smile, sing and dance for many moons to come!
The first song to be recorded with this new line up is Earth Wind & Fire’s ‘September’ “We’ve been busy over the last few months and it’s been so exciting being back in the studio with Jay” says Mark Franks. “The new music is very much ‘classic Overtones’ but with a twist. This song is a taster of what’s to come, Jay's voice adds a new dimension as you can hear and, as soon as we recorded it, we knew that it was the perfect fit for us four boys - feel good and uplifting... an absolute gem of a song.”
The Overtones will take to the road this December for their annual Christmas tour. “We will be performing classic songs from yesteryear, favourites from our albums and plenty of surprises” says Mike Crawshaw. “Over the last 10 years we’ve learnt a thing or two about throwing a Christmas party! People come to our shows to let their hair down, get their spirits up and dance their hearts out. We want everyone to leave an Overtones concert with a huge smile on their face and a spring in their step. This year will be our best tour yet!”
With their innate charm and adherence to vintage-modernist style, and a devotion to the timeless appeal of male vocal harmonies, The Overtones are a bridge between pre-rock’n’roll classicism and lively 21st Century entertainment. They’ve sold over a million albums, made countless TV appearances and filled venues to capacity on tour after tour, all the while building a relationship with their fans that has real depth and devotion.
In 2018 the group released their sixth album ‘The Overtones’, the accompanying sold-out UK tour took their trademark sense of celebration and party on the road with the group living up to the promise of “a night to remember”. That’s the tradition they come from and they’re certainly not about to stop now.
