“Running for Rupert 2010 is our marathon team name representing the Brain Injury Rehabilitation Trust, which is a subsidiary charity of the Disabilities Trust. Both of these organisations work tirelessly to offer a better quality of life to people who live with brain injury and general disability. These are people who really do suffer. Our suffering will begin and end on Sunday April 25 when we join around 50,000 other runners, all with their own personal challenges to complete the marathon course.”

Hey guys!

Sorry it’s been such a long time since we all wrote a blog…we will get better at updating!!

The last few months have really been taken up with exciting gigs/events such as a gig for Ronan Keating’s Charity ‘The Emerald Ball’ A gig in Milan for Richard Branson who was charming, a couple in Ireland and not forgetting the awesome time we all had in Vegas!! Las Vegas was sooo much fun and a real experience…Luckily we had a few days off to explore and we all saw the most incredible show called ‘Le Reve’. It was similar to Cirque du soleil, but on water..it was magical.

The most recent gig we performed at was last Saturday at The Royal Albert Hall raising money for the children orphans for Haiti, it was a great night and hopefully a lot of money was raised! We also saw Faryl Smith who was performing, Blake, Camilla Kerslake and Paul Potts who finished off a great night!

I then drove to Bath after the concert to spend Easter with my family which was lovely

Since the end of February, beginning of March we were all rehearsing furiously in preparation for the Katherine Jenkins tour, which ran for 12 dates in total.

It was a wonderful experience being able to perform with my best friends all around the country on arena stages…a dream come true for any musician.

We decided that we wanted to do something a bit different in the middle of our set…something where people were able to see where we all came from and to show our musical ability. We decided to perform Libertango by Piazzola with a phenomenal guitarist who soon became our friend, Jaal. He was a wonderful musician and we hope to play more acoustic pieces with him in the future.

It really was an exciting experience and one I will never forget!

Katherine’s show was pretty spectacular with a diverse range of performers, dancers and even an acrobat! We were very impressed with how she was game to try anything.

All in all, 2010 has started very well and we hope it will continue to bring us exciting performances and travel. In fact, we are travelling to Beijing and Lisbon in the next couple of months which will be another great experience i’m sure.

Thank you for your continued support and for coming to see us on tour, I hope you enjoyed it! I will update you all very soon, Love Chantal xx

punktiliodigitalpr@gmail.com (samuelsjstokes) — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 11:12:12 +0100

ESCALA’S newest venture is collaborating with the talented guitarist, Jaal Bensaid whilst on tour with Katherine Jenkins. Jaal’s breathtaking Spanish guitar playing adds to a spine tingling performance of Libertango whilst adding a rock edge live on stage playing Kashmir in true Slash style! See Jaal’s work at http://www.myspace.com/jaalleb and catch him on tour with Escala until 19th March.

News Guardian Newcastle: “The classical quartet that found fame on Britain’s Got Talent are absolutely incredible, and they were the reason I found myself at Newcastle’s Metro Radio Arena on Saturday.”

ThisIsNottingham.com: “I also thought that Escala was good, especially with the acoustic guitarist. One of the best concerts I have been to.”

InLoughborough.com: “Jenkins was supported by Escala, the London based string quartet (2008 Britain’s Got Talent finalists) and any myth of them of them just being ‘Bond’ wanabees was dispelled by a stunning performance”
