Pick the kind of music you prefer, then bring a picnic to enjoy before the concert in parkland and gardens created for Henry VIII. The choice of music is incredibly varied for this concert series. In 2007, The Buena Vista Social Club made the bill. So did Jose Carrera and Lesley Garrett, Brian Ferry of Roxy Music, Cellist Julian Lloyd Webber, Van Morrison, Tom Jones and Jools Holland with his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra and many others. These are grown up concerts for a grown up audience.
