Friday night’s headline act at St John’s Church is the AMC Gospel Choir, well known for their residency at Albert Schloss in both Manchester and Birmingham.
The singers have also celebrated performances with both the Manchester Camerata and Hacienda Classical.
This divine evening of soulful sounds and R&B classics promises to truly hit the spot with all ages, and brings a fresh, vibrant sound to this year’s festival.
The blues night makes a thunderous return to Knutsford Little Theatre on Saturday, June 7.
Headliners are the powerhouse Vincent Flatts Band and their Southern infused rock’n’roll, supported by Knutsford based duo Simister and Small, an electrifying night for blues fans.
The festival wraps up with the return of broadcasting legend Mark Radcliffe, leading Rusty’s Wild Rovers in a full-throttle folk singalong.
Hand-clapping rhythms to heartwarming ballads, it’s a chance for the audience to belt out traditional songs from all over the British Isles.
