THEY’RE back! The summer party concerts at the Quarry in Shrewsbury will return in July and the first night will be Friday, July 9.
‘The Beacon Radio Summer Sessions’ is a unique evening of entertainment featuring some of the biggest names in pop music performing together on one stage in the beautiful outdoor setting of Shrewsbury’s town centre venue.
With hit records spanning the past 30 years Tony Hadley, fresh from the Spandau Ballet world tour will be joined on stage by multi-million selling artists, Rick Astley, ABC and Go West.
The artists will be playing songs from their massive repertoire of hit records and for the first time on this concert series they will also perform specially chosen duets and collaborations, backed by a fantastic line up of musicians.
Further artists will be announced as they join the bill in what is fast becoming an annual party night at The Quarry and after sell-out shows in 2008 and 2009, promoters IML are expecting as big a rush for tickets this year.
Keith Louch, director of IML Concerts, said, “It’s a real pleasure to bring ‘The Summer Sessions’ back to Shrewsbury, we are delighted to be working with such a great line-up of stars.
"The evening will feature a unique programme including duets and collaborations from the artists - it is going to be a tremendous show and is sure to get the audience singing and dancing along as it has done in past years.”
Chris Bailey, event manager from IML Concerts added, “Once again it will be a picnic-style concert and we encourage the audience to bring their own chairs, rugs, cushions and picnics. We have introduced special priced tickets for children under 16 at £15 with entry for the under 5’s absolutely free, no ticket required.
"Over the past 11 years of organising shows around the UK, we have found a growing number of children attending our concerts and hope that the reduced prices will encourage more families to join us.”
Gates open at 6pm with the artists on stage from 7.30pm. There’s even a grand firework finale to round off a spectacular show.
