1. Hot Chocolate’s Kennie Simon Joins the Line-Up
We’re talking velvety vocals, iconic soul hits and disco magic. Hot Chocolate’s legendary frontman Kennie Simon joins the Back to Boogie Concert on Saturday 17 May.

With six decades of music experience under his belt, Kennie is guaranteed to bring serious soul to Arley Hall.

This is your chance to relive the golden age of dance with artists who defined an era.
3. Russell Watson Returns on Sunday
On Sunday 18 May, the mood shifts from disco to dazzling as classical superstar Russell Watson headlines a stunning Proms night to celebrate 25 years since his debut album The Voice. Expect an emotional evening of anthems, Proms favourites and powerful vocals, supported by choirs and brass bands including Rock Choir Cheshire and Northwich Musical Theatre Choir.
