Raymond & Co asked to support Will Young on 19-date UK tour.

LONDON-based gospel ensemble Raymond & Co have been asked to support pop star Will Young on a 19-date tour of the UK and Ireland. The group were approached by booking agent Bob Gold as directly requested by Will Young. Commencing on 25th November in Manchester at the Evening News Arena, the tour will take in all major UK cities, including three dates at Wembley Arena. Many of the venues are sold out and an additional four dates were added, bringing the total tour audience to just over 163,000.

Lead singer Isaiah-Raymond is enthusiastic about the opportunity: "We're delighted to be invited by Will Young to appear as the sole supporting act on his upcoming UK Arena tour. On the same day that Will extended his invitation, I was speaking with fellow Raymond & Co member Chris regarding the need for us to go on a tour of the UK, and within an hour of our conversation Bob Gold called me on behalf of Will Young, expressing Will's desire to have us on the tour. We view this as prayers answered and are grateful to God for the chance to share the gospel message of Jesus to a wider audience!" CR
