Following the success of last years Osborne House concerts organised by Solo Promotions, they’re back again this year.
At the beginning of August, Queen Victoria’s holiday residence will play host to a two night concert that sees female powerhouse Anastacia and British soul band legend, Simply Red, headline this special event in East Cowes.
Yes, we did say Simply Red! It certainly seems to be the year on the Island for ‘blasts from the past’ but when Mick Hucknall takes to the stage at Osborne House later in the year, you’ll be guaranteed of a great performance – all his band members have superb musical pedigree.
Solo tell us that the Anastacia on show will be radically different from the one who last toured in 2005, with tracks from the softer, gentler, more feminine album – Heavy Rotation.
Included in the lineup over the weekend are electric string quartet Escala, who’ll be supporting Anastacia on the Saturday night. They’ll be joined by Leon Jackson, the Scottish swooner who won the hearts of the nation with his stunning voice on X-Factor, as he performs an acoustic set.
Providing support for Simply Red on the Sunday night will be Dutch soul sensation Alain Clark. who will be complementing the soul band evening with his Motown feel.
John Giddings, organiser of Osborne House and the Isle Of Wight Festival, is thrilled to have teamed up with Green Eye Events, Riverside Productions and The English Heritage again to put on this unique weekend. “It’s wonderful to be able to continue playing a part in developing the music and cultural scene on the island and by once again attracting world class acts to this wonderful location I’m looking forward to a cracking weekend.”
Don’t miss out on this unique event. Tickets go on sale on Friday 1st May and are available online from Ticketzone or through the ticket hotline 08705 321 321.
