The Choirboys is an English boy band, made up of cathedral choristers. In 2005, a talent search was held to find a young chorister to bring choral music into the current music scene. However, the judges could not decide which of the three finalists should be given the recording contract and decided to assemble them as a trio. ==Original members (2005)== The original line-up of the group was made of Patrick Aspbury (born 9 June 1993, Chelmsford), Eskricke Francis Benedict "Ben" Inman (born 19 March 1993, Starbeck, Harrogate, North Yorkshire) and Charles John "CJ" Porter-Thaw (born 11 December 1994, Sheffield). Both Aspbury and Porter-Thaw were members of Ely Cathedral choir and Inman was a member of the choir of Southwell Minster. In the summer of 2005, they were selected from cathedral choristers around the UK for a recording contract with Universal Classics and Jazz, and released their self-titled first album in November of that year. After an intensive promotional tour of television and radio stations, they performed at several events, including the Southwell Minster St. Cecilia Concert, the Ely Cathedral May Day Concert and charity concerts in London venues such as the Royal Albert Hall. The first trio has since moved on and retired from singing as trebles at their respective cathedrals. Inman recorded as a solo artist on the James Newton-Howard soundtrack for the 2005 film, ''King Kong'', and has since retired as a treble chorister from Southwell Minster. He won the Trebby Award for 'Best Solo Treble Track' in 2006 for "Fairest Isle".〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher= Trebby Awards official website )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Choirboys (boyband)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
