A Nottingham musician has been selected to help open the Coronation Concert alongside one of the UK's best-known DJs. Gideon Akpovi, who's known on stage as Jerub, will take to the stage on Sunday, May 7, alongside DJ Pete Tong and singer Vula Malinga in a spectacle at Windsor Castle set to be viewed by millions around the world.
Jerub, who has been singing since the age of 11, was told the exciting news that he would duet with Vula alongside Pete Tong and his Ibiza Classics orchestra the same day he had one of his songs played on Radio One. The singer is now set to join a star-studded list of celebrities set to host and perform at the event, including Take That, Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Olly Murs.
The 24-year-old said: "I was already on a high until I got the call then the high went through the roof... I'm feeling really really excited [for Sunday], I'm also feeling the weight of the moment.
