Superstar Opera singer and the nation’s favourite tenor, Alfie Boe, will headline a “Last Night of The Proms” concert on Saturday 4th August 2012.
Following the release of his 'Bring Him Home' Top Ten Gold album and his forthcoming sell-out 'Bring Him Home Tour', as well as his record breaking performance as Jean Valjean in the 25th Anniversary production of Les Miserables at The 02 Arena, Alfie Boe is sure to be as massive a hit with locals, as he is with audiences across The UK
After just two short years the event has gained such prestigious recognition, that it has already become a well-established date in the Lancashire coast social calendar. Speaking ahead of today’s announcement a spokesperson for the concert organisers Cuffe & Taylor said; “We see Lytham Proms Festival Weekend as our flagship event, and as such we put a lot of love and attention into who the local people would want to see, before we set upon our quest to secure world-class artists.
“We are absolutely thrilled to be bringing Alfie Boe to his neighbouring home town, for a spectacular evening next year. Lytham Proms Festival Weekend is growing year upon year, and 2012 is already promising to be a great weekend of music
Until now the headline acts have been fantastic female artists, but now we feel it is time for the male artists to shine, and who better than a local musical sensation like Alfie.”
Following the success of his appearances in The Les Miserables 25th Anniversary Concert at The 02, Boe plays the lead role of Jean Valjean at the Queens Theatre until the end of November and the start of his record breaking 'Bring Him Home Tour'.
The brand new album 'Alfie', is released 31st October and is an assortment of some of the most beautiful and timeless classics ever recorded, including a duet with rock legend, Robert Plant.
Fans are invited to enjoy the evening in the usual ‘Last Night of The Proms’ style.
