An international recording artist who has been building up a reputation with his own gospel choir is now set to open a new singing academy in Inverness.
Tony Henry is the talent leading the Highland Voice choir which has performed a number of prestigious dates including at the Belladrum Festival and helping bring in the bells this year at the Highland capital’s Red Hot Highland Fling.
Explaining his vision for the Tony Henry Music Academy he said: “Over the months I have been building up a number of students that I have been working with and, although I am eternally grateful to the owners, restrictions in my current premises mean I have been unable to offer lessons in the evenings and weekends, which is when an increasing number of people want to learn to sing.
“I truly believe that everyone can sing – and I am keen to work with anyone that has been thinking about singing, but maybe just hasn’t got round to it or is just too shy to come along.
He added: “I would encourage anyone to come along and give it a go.
“I promise I’ll make it easy for you and we’ll have some fun as well.”
An open evening for the new academy will be held at its premises at Unit 1, Canal Road, Inverness from 7pm on Thursday, January 17.
As part of this the Highland Voices choir will demonstrate a live rehearsal.
