During 2008 and 2009 the group undertook tours of Australia and Japan. 2009 continued with a tour, the creation of their new record label, Blake Records, and the release of their third album, Together. They finished 2009 with a 30-night tour in Scandinavia.

After funding their first independent album on Pledge, Blake teamed up with Dame Shirley Bassey for a version of The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire) which will appear on their first ever Christmas album. Dame Shirley explains how the collaboration came about: “Blake sang Moon River at my 70th birthday party, and then we met again at the reception of [the charity] Variety’s 70th anniversary six months ago. Ollie mentioned singing a Christmas song together, and I said I’ve never done a Christmas song before!”".
