 |

Just for interest!
Page 18 of classicfm magazine - "regular reader" of classicfm magazine, Janice Hurst, apparently sent in her choice of top 5 crossover artists - some names we know!
1. G4: These loveable lads can do no wrong with their unique brand of pop music-meets-opera
2. Amici Forever: The line-up may have changed recently but this million-selling opera band's still going strong
3. Aled Jones: This former chorister still has a loyal following and his gigs are always a sell-out
4. Josh Groban: The twenty-something from LA is already a musical phenomenon on the other side of the pond
5. Bryn Terfel: The Welsh bass-baritone made a foray into the world of cross-over with his disc Simple Gifts.
Some interesting omissions also - although if you were restricted to 5 - difficult! And it is just a reader's opinions of course. |

Haha well done Janice.. I'm sure she'll pop in over here and say hi again soon 
We had this discussion over on G4-online a while back, restricting choices to just a top 5 proved difficult (number 1 position being the exception  )
Well done J for getting yours in print 
Kerry xx
