Cortes to sing against the Blues!

West Ham United supporters attending tonight's match against Chelsea will be treated to some pre-match entertainment in the form of a vocal performance by Icelandic opera singer Cortes.

The upcoming young tenor - who is of course a fellow countryman of our chairman Eggert Magnusson - is currently at number one in the HMV classical bestseller ratings, and will provide a brief display of his talents in front of 35,000 fans at Upton Park just before kick-off this evening.

Cortes's performance will include a unique version of 'I'm forever blowing bubbles' and a burst of the Pavarotti classic 'Nessum Dorma'.
