‘Music on the Meadows’ open-air concert will return to Ripley Castle for the first time since 2008 and promises to be an explosion of the UK’s finest tribute band talent, beneath the glorious glow of the summer sun.
The concert, in the grounds of the castle, near Harrogate, on June 21, will support the Neuroblastoma Children’s Cancer Alliance (NCCA UK). On stage, Ultimate Madness need no introduction – bringing all the classic Madness tracks back to life, faithfully recreating favourites including Our House, Baggy Trousers, House of Fun and more.
Queen B has a blistering set ranging from Bohemian Rhapsody to Another One Bites the Dust. There is a wealth of talent in the band, including immaculate guitar solos and excellent vocal harmonies.
Paul Jackson who plays Freddie is hailed as ‘simply sensational’. A third act have been thrown into the mix with a warm up set from the children of both Bradford’s and Harrogate’s Stagecoach Theatre Arts Schools. Music on the Meadows promises to be the definitive British summer evening – the audience is invited to bring along their picnic and bubbly, pick a spot, relax and indulge in the fantastic live music.
The concert will end with a spectacular firework finale, reflected over Ripley Castle’s lake.
Promoter, Andrew Russell, said: “We are extremely excited to be back at Ripley Castle for Music on the Meadows. Ripley Castle provides a stunning backdrop and the Yorkshire crowds certainly know how to party! It’s a fantastic way to spend the weekend with the family and we are delighted to have on board our charity partner the NCCA UK, who will be raffling off a fabulous prize in the interval.”
The event takes place from 5.30pm to approximately 11pm. Adult tickets are £25, family tickets cost £80, and concessions £18. Gazebo pitches, not including a gazebo in the price, are £35. Call the box office on (0203) 220 0123 or visit musiconthemeadows.com for tickets.
