Bob Blakely - Performance (2014)

The nation gasped in shock when The Voice judges failed to turn round for Bob Blakeley’s spine-tingling performance of Cry Me A River. The Granddad from Stockport then won the hearts of millions when he cheerfully shook hands with the judges before graciously leaving the stage.
But the story did not end there for the 56 year old warehouse worker. Appearing on BBC Breakfast the following week Bob was offered a deal by music producer and record company boss Mike Batt.

Now signed to Mike’s record label, Dramatico Entertainment (Katie Melua/Caro Emerald) – Bob’s dreams are set to come true with the release of his debut album ‘Performance’. Produced by Mike, and recorded with an orchestra at the legendary Air Studios in London, ‘Performance’ will showcase Bob’s extraordinary voice. Featuring his signature song ‘Cry Me A River’, the album will also include Bob’s renditions of classic standards as well as inspired covers of contemporary songs.
