Henley Festival prestige tickets news

16/04/2010

Buying Henley Festival prestige tickets and heading to the River Thames event could be the highlight of the summer for many people.

Lucie Richards, a columnist for the Basingstoke Gazette, picked out the festival - which runs between July 7th and 11th 2010 - as one of the many fabulous events which is set to take place in the south-east over the coming months.

The correspondent suggested people with Henley Festival prestige tickets will be able to enjoy a markedly different experience to those who go to other events, due to its focus on culture as well as music.

Festival-goers will be treated to fireworks, art, comedy and cabaret on the banks of the Thames, while a host of international acts - including Will Young, Ronan Keating and Bryn Terfel - are also on the bill.

Celebrity chef Heston Blumenthal's Hinds Head restaurant will also be on hand to cater for people with Henley Festival prestige tickets, with dishes including triple-cooked chips and Scotch quail's egg soup.

I loved this one! He put his all into it and got a fantastic reception.  It was by far the best organised standing gig I have ever been to, which was an absolute credit to the organisers. So many others could follow their lead. A beautiful performance in a perfect location on a beautiful summer's evening.    I've posted some pics on Facebook, if anyone wishes to look: http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/album.php?aid=9342&id=100000932090196&ref=mf

POP star Ronan Keating took the opportunity of his appearance at the Henley Festival to thank fans for supporting him during the breakdown of his marriage. Keating was on a flying visit from Australia where he is filming a version of the hit TV series, The X-Factor. He flew back down under on Monday morning after headlining the festival on Sunday. The former Boyzone star, 33, told hundreds of mostly female fans: “These past seven weeks have been scary and dire for me. Thanks for all your support.” Keating left his wife of 12 years, Yvonne, 36, because of his relationship with a dancer on his boy-band comeback tour last May. His short set at Henley — he was only on stage for just over an hour — seemed muted and restrained, as if he had other things on his mind. He was whisked up to the floating stage in a Mercedes car along the towpath flanked by security people. And at the end of the evening he was whisked away again in the blink of an eye. In the interval in between arrival and departure he sang with an air of professional commitment that somehow lacked engagement, though there was no faulting his strong voice and almost rigid determination to give people their money’s worth. His fans at Henley were there all right in their hundreds but there were empty seats in the grandstand. Keating had nothing like the impact of last year’s Beatles tribute band. Henley Festival people actually like to rock and although his set included some belters, it seemed to me there was a surfeit of heavy, emotional ballads. Of course, Keating is Irish and this shone through with the Celtic twists and turns in the songs, interspersed with favourites. He sang his top pop tunes, Tomorrow Never Comes and Time After Time, to acclaim but what was striking was that in his performance there was no trace any longer of the boy-band star. Keating is now an accomplished balladeer whether he likes it or not. He appeals to an audience that loves soft rock and big production country and western weepies. There was no doubt that the audience enjoyed his show greatly but there was not the fire of a rock concert or the true intimacy of a big romantic singer on show here. Keating is a big name and the kind of star performer
