A new festival is set to take place at Woburn Abbey in Bedfordshire this summer, and features the likes of Van Morrison, Hayley Westenra, Julian Lloyd-Webber and The Ronnie Scott's Big Band on its line-up. Woburn Live will consist of three themed evenings on 27, 28 and 29 Jul, respectively devoted to rock, classical music and jazz. The event has a broadcast partnership with Classic FM, meaning highlights from the classical and jazz programmes will be aired nationwide.
Andrew Wyke, of co-promoters Musical Associates, says: "This new event offers a unique experience both on site and for listeners to the national broadcasts. The lawns to the rear of the Abbey will be transformed into a fully seated concert arena providing an intimate setting in which to enjoy performances by some of the world's best artists. The Abbey and grounds will make a superb backdrop for concert goers to picnic before the performance and soak up an inspiring atmosphere".
