Singers from Swindon jumped at the chance to sing on stage with Peter Andre.
Drew Youngsam and Neville Williams make up two-thirds of the vocal group RSB Souldiers, who, with Richard Deans completing the trio, travel around the south west of England performing as live entertainment for holidays sites, showcases, supporting acts, festivals, corporate events and weddings.
The R&B and soul singers had the pleasure and surprise of being the supporting act for Peter Andre during his afternoon and evening performances at The Concorde Club at Eastleigh recently.
During his part of the gig, the Mysterious Girl hitmaker asked them to join him on stage to sing one of their favourite songs together, All Night Long by Lionel Ritchie.

The band shared clips of the special moment on social media and added: “What an unforgettable day!
“An incredible moment and a true honour for RSB. The energy, the crowd, the music — absolutely epic. Definitely a core memory made. Here’s to many more moments like this!”
Drew, 49, and Neville, 38, are originally from Swindon and are youth mentors for young people who are on the verge of being excluded from school.
Richie, 49, is from Nottingham, and all three members are self-taught singers..
Their catalogue ranges from the ‘60s to the early noughties, with soul anthems and R&B favourites from the likes of Lionel Richie, Earth Wind and Fire, The O’Jays, Boys to Men, Montell Jordan, and more.
A spokesperson for the RSB Souldiers said: “They had no idea that Peter Andre would be listening to their set list.
“Peter said to the audience he was wowed by their incredible vocals and harmonies and so called them up on stage.
“They had already sung this song in their set before, were on stage before I even realised it, and seamlessly transitioned into the performance.
“Off-stage, their energy was palpable – it was clear they were thrilled.
“Opportunities like that are rare and truly remarkable. They took it with both hands and really got the crowd back up and moving.”
The close friends formed the group after Drew suggested the idea two years ago because of their shared passion for the golden age of soul and the rhythms of R&B.
Their harmonies have helped the group quickly gain a growing following as they aim to bring fresh life to familiar songs while showcasing their singing and inspiring their young children to chase their dreams.
