Any 'classical sensation' allegedly created on Facebook in five minutes isn't the most appealing of starts.

I like the story that the four tenors just happened to click by singing together at a house party.

Stephen Bowman, Jules Knight, Dominic Tighe and Oliver Baines are trying the alternate route to fame without using X-Factor.

So that's one plus point at least. The only letdown is their decision to pack an album with safe selections such as Moon River, Swing Low and Jerusalem.
