G4 today celebrate twenty years at the top of their game by sharing their new - and arguably best - album ‘20’. It continues a legacy that has seen the Kings of Popera top the charts, sell-out huge venues and establish an unparalleled reputation as theUK’s leading vocal harmony group. Out now digitally, the album’s physical release will follow on May 17th with formats including pink vinyl, CD and cassette.
‘20’ sees G4 doing what they do best - using their shared gold-plated vocal talent to shine a new light on songs both classic and contemporary. From pop hits from Olivia Rodrigo, Miley Cyrus and Billie Eilish to soaring ballads from The Carpentersand Muse and theatrical showstoppers like ‘The Music of The Night’, G4 sound reborn.
Still led by founder duo Jonathan Ansell (high tenor/lead vocals) and Mike Christie (baritone), their close-knit vocal harmonies are as strong as ever with the group completed by Duncan Sandilands (bass) and new recruit, the ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ winner Jai McDowall (tenor) - as evidenced by the closing barbershop quartet performance of ‘Goodnight Sweetheart’.
Jonathan says, “We’re excited to celebrate our 20th anniversary by taking fans on an emotional journey with our new album ‘20’. We’ve picked a remarkable selection of songs that excel with our trademark harmonies, from heartbreaking and intimate to high-octane excitement, and we’re looking forward to performing some of these songs on tour too.”
One of the highlights of the set is G4’s take on James Blunt’s emotionally charged ballad ‘Monsters’. A song about how the father/son relationship changes in time, the quartet’s perfectly poised harmonies introduce the song before Duncan Sanilands’ touching interpretation leads, accompanied only by the piano.

G4 will further celebrate their 20th anniversary in the best way possible - by inviting fans to join the celebrations during their huge UK and Ireland tour. Starting at Worthing Assembly Hall next Tuesday, the tour takes in over 70 shows from Redruthto Elgin, including a London date at the Leicester Square Theatre. Please see HERE for a full list of dates and remaining tickets. By the time they also complete their ever popular Christmas tour, G4 will have played over 100 shows between now and the end of 2024.
