Two very special guests are set to open Elton John's only Scottish concert of 2012. Classically trained Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser, better known a 2CELLOS and local girl Tallia Storm will open the show in Falkirk on Sundat 10 June.

2CELLOS have performed together since January 2011 and in that time have become internet sensations, and have landed a major record deal and management contract whilst being taken under the wing of Elton John.

 

Last summer they joined Elton John and his band as they toured the world. This year they have also performed as his special guests, opening the show with performances including music from Tchaikovsky to Michael Jackson to Nirvana. This will be their first ever performance in Scotland and one that is likely to lead to many more visits.

"Performing live gives us the chance to share our passion and energy for music with the audience. We look forward to doing that in Scotland."

The other performer on the bill is 13 year old Glasgow girl Tallia Storm. This surprisingly grown up little lady is not lacking in her determination to succeed in the music business. Tallia used her instinct to her advantage when she encountered David Furnish, and asked him to pass on a letter to Elton John. The following day Elton contacted her and told her that she has one of the most exciting vocal signatures he had heard in years, and that he absolutely loved her material and her vibe. This lead to her being invited to join Elton in Falkirk. She accepted of course!

“I'm just working really hard and rehearsing a lot to give it my all. That's the least I can do for being giving the opportunity of a lifetime from one my musical heroes!"
