The Ten Tenors (also known as TTT) are an Australian musical ensemble, with a strong live touring profile in Europe, Canada and the United States and a burgeoning recording career. The group performs a diverse repertoire in concert and on their albums; performing Queen standards, including Bicycle Race, Bohemian Rhapsody, and Who Wants to Live Forever and ABBA’s Dancing Queen, and switch gears mid-set performing opera tunes and native Australian tunes (including Men at Work). Their most recent album Here’s to the Heroes is heavily influenced by the music of John Barry.
