Jubilee Concert
Victoria Hall musical extravaganza will celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee
A musical extravaganza to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee is taking place in Bolton on the weekend of the special Bank Holiday celebrating her reign.
Songs spanning the entire era of her 70 years on the throne will be performed at the Victoria Hall, on Knowsley Street, Bolton, on Saturday, June 4, starting at 7pm.
The climax of the evening will be a 'Last Night of the Proms' sing-along featuring Wigan mezzo-soprano Vicky Little, accompanied by renowned piano/organist Shade Black.
Money raised from the event - organised by Bolton Lever and Wigan Rotary Clubs - will go to Bolton Hospice and Wigan and Leigh Hospice.
The band Beatroots, fronted by TV's The Voice finalist Linda Jennings, will play hits from the 1950s to the 1980s while The Nick Jackson Band will play songs from the 1990s to present day.
The Nick Jackson Band will rebrand themselves as Mirrors Over Kyiv for the gig in a tribute to the bravery of people in Ukraine.
Tickets cost £7 and are available online at www.victoriahall.co.uk
Further information is available from: The Victoria Hall Box Office 01204 522569
Nick was the front man of cult 80s and 90s Manchester band Mirrors Over Kiev until the band went their separate ways. However, the rebrand will feature the Ukrainian spelling 'Kyiv' of the historic city rather than 'Kiev', the Russian spelling.
Our compere for the evening is the renowned musical arranger and conductor Chris Wormald, Musical Director of Eagley Band.
Councillor Linda Thomas, Mayor of Bolton and Honorary member of Bolton Lever Rotary Club said
“ I do hope as many as possible will support the Rotarians Concert in aid of the Hospice funds. Since becoming Bolton Mayor I have worked closely with this group of Rotarians and even became an Honorary Member. I am so impressed by the volume of fundraising they do for so many good and varied causes. Their enthusiasm is infectious and I hope we can all get behind this charity event.”
