BRITs Week 26, delivered by DHL for War Child, continued last night with Jack Savoretti and Katherine Jenkins OBE taking over London’s Emerald Theatre, right on the embankment beneath the historic Waterloo Bridge. The star-studded performance balanced Savoretti’s indie/folk with Jenkins’ souring theatrical vocals.
The audience was kept captivated from start and finish, as Jenkins’ kicked off her love themed set, with powerful classic aria’s including George Bizet’s Habanera and operatic takes on fan favourites, including HUNTR/X Golden.
Jack Savoretti then followed with his signature guitar-led songs, including crowd favourites We’ll Always Be The Way We Were, Soldier’s Eyes, and Candlelight, see our exclusive video below. The pair then graced the stage together, closing the memorable night with a heartfelt duet of What the World Needs Now is Love.
Support on the night came from Australian singer-songwriter Gabriella Cilmi.
