Bedford Park Proms Announce.......

Bedford Park Proms 25th Anniversary – Part Two takes place on Sunday 31st July 2022 and is Bedfordshire’s most prestigious alfresco Proms event. The Team at Bedford Park Concerts have now confirmed their headline acts for Bedford’s most popular family event.

Opera Star and BBC Radio presenter Wynne Evans will headline along with Broadway and West End sensation Marisha Wallace.

Wynne Evans is regularly singing to millions for the TV advertising campaign that has made him a household name as the spoof opera star Gio Compario. Although a spoof opera star in the Go Compare insurance adverts, Wynne is a professionally trained opera singer with over 25 years’ experience, and has a debut album ‘A Song in My Heart’ that went to the Number 1in the classical charts.

He is a regular presenter on BBC Radio Wales and has also presented on BBC Radio 3 and Classic FM and most recently performed for the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall at their Welsh home.

Singer and actor Marisha Wallace is a Broadway and West End sensation, best known for starring in Something Rotten, Dream girls, Waitress and more recently in the role of Motormouth Maybelle in Hairspray!

She’s topped the music charts with her cover of Annie’s Tomorrow, released at the peak of the pandemic to raise funds for performers out of work and been playlisted on Radio 2 with her singles and subsequent album Tomorrow. Marisha has performed on Strictly Come Dancing, released her EP and sang for the Queen at the Royal Variety Show.

The soloists will be accompanied by the London Gala Orchestra conducted by the enigmatic Stephen Bell, once again The Bedford Choral Society will perform in the show.

Bedford Park Proms has one of the best laser shows in the country and a firework spectacular to finish the evening. It’s the only show that you can bring your own drinks and picnics too and its suitable for all ages.

Bedford Park Concerts promoter Mark Harrison announced last year that as a thank you to the NHS he would be giving 8000Proms tickets away to NHS workers for just £1.00. That £1.00 donation will then be donated to The Bedford Hospital Charity.

The concert team are still to announce their support acts, but for now this is shaping up to be one of the most exciting family nights out in Bedford’s social calendar.

Tickets are £25.00* for adults, Children Tickets - £5.00 and under 5’s go free.
