English Heritage Unveils Superb Talent
for 2007 Picnic Concerts Multi award winning male solo artist Lemar teams up for the first time with the soul diva Beverley Knight MBE, whilst the super-talented Jools Holland duets with the legendary Lulu. These two combinations promise to have audiences up on their feet dancing and singing until the finale fireworks! The Last Night of the Proms performances will feature some extraordinary talent, including singing sensation Katherine Jenkins at Audley End, Saffron Walden, the fabulous Lesley Garrett at Battle Abbey, Hastings and rising opera stars Natasha Marsh and Alfie Boe at Marble Hill, Twickenham. In addition to the traditional finale firework displays, there will be spectacular choreographed aerobatic displays from a genuine World War II Spitfire at Battle Abbey and Audley End. Fans of the 80's who want a truly memorable and fun night out should watch out for the new Party Nights, featuring Belinda Carlisle, Bananarama, Midge Ure, T’Pau, Toyah Willcox, Limahl and Altered Images, while the upbeat sounds of Motown will have audiences dancing in the aisles at Audley End and Marble Hill, as the West End production of ‘Dancing In The Streets’ takes to the stage. Plus, at Audley End only, performances from the incomparable Bryan Ferry and the Cuban sensations, the Buena Vista Social Club. English Heritage pioneered the Picnic Concerts and has set the standard for exceptional entertainment, hospitality and stunning locations. All the concerts are set in the idyllic and beautiful grounds of three of England’s top stately homes - Marble Hill in Twickenham, Audley End in Saffron Walden, Essex and Battle Abbey in Hastings. Each evening ends with a superb firework display. After a priority booking period commencing on March 12th, tickets for the 2007 Picnic Concerts go on sale on Monday March 26th. The programme starts on July 7th at Audley End and the series continues until August 26th.
