Festival Blues Night: Kyla Brox BandFriday 29th June8:00pm (Doors 7:30pm)@ Lymm Golf Club| £15

Kyla’s voice remains a stunning example of the soul singer’s art: turning up the heat by degrees, lulling and charming before unleashing emotional catharsis, and blurring the distinction between pleasure and pain like the soul greats of old. Whether fronting the mighty Kyla Brox Band, or harnessing undiluted soul power in a duo with musical and life partner Danny Blomeley, Kyla Brox is without

doubt the most authentic UK blues and soul singer of her generation.

The voice of Classic FM’s weekday mornings, John Suchet, presents in person a fascinating and in-depth talk on two of the greatest composers the world has known: their music, their lives and their inspiration.

The music of the Strauss family encapsulated Vienna and does so to this day, but it hides an extraordinary story. An autocratic father who saw his eldest son eclipse him and become the undisputed Waltz King. Delving into the life of Mozart, the most naturally gifted composer who ever lived, John uncovers the man behind many myths.

John’s passion for classical music makes for an inspiring talk.In association with All
