“The idea for this show was sparked by a conversation I had with long-time Tenor Paul Gelsumini about Paul’s upcoming wedding,” says producer and manager D-J Wendt. “Paul was planning to use ‘Perfect’ for the first dance with the hope that his fellow Tenors would join in, serenading him and his new wife Jessica. The next day I phoned Stephen Baker, our record producer and musical director, with the notion of an album and show dedicated to wedding first dance songs. The rest is history and here we are!”
The members of the ensemble are Cameron Barclay, Daniel Belle, Michael Edwards, Nigel Huckle, Adrian Li Donni, Sebastian Maclaine, Jared Newall, Boyd Owen, Riley Sutton and Grady Switherbank.
