Ember Trio are a musical trio who reached the Semi-Finals of Series 14 of Britain's Got Talent. The trio consists of twenty eight year old violinist Elliot Lyte, Thirty one year old cellist Chris Gascoine, and twenty six year old cellist Tom Huet. The group were together for three or four years at the time of their audition and hailed from Manchester and London. They worked as Musicians, Personal Trainers, Music Tutors, and Writers at the time of their audition.
In their audition, they played ‘Bury A Friend’ by Billie Eilish on their guitars, before culminating their performance by playing at a faster pace. Alesha remarked that she felt the whole thing sounded like the music from a ‘Trailer for a movie or something’ with Amanda adding her belief that the trio were a ‘Great act’.
In their Semi-Final performance, they performed ‘Forgot About Dre’ by Dr. Dre featuring Eminem, ‘Survivor’ by Destiny’s Child and 2WEI’s remix of ‘Gangsta's Paradise’ by Coolio featuring Kylian Mash on their guitars whilst each stood atop boxes whilst fire surrounded them.
