Katherine Jenkins, John Owen-Jones and Danny Mac to lead Last Night of The Proms concert in Lancashire

Welsh mezzo soprano Katherine Jenkins (Carousel) is set to headline a musical-themed Last Night of The Proms concert in Lancashire this summer.

The concert will take place on Sunday 27 August at Lytham Hall, and Jenkins will be joined by West End star Danny Mac (Sunset Boulevard, Pretty Woman), Broadway and West End favourite John Owen-Jones (The Phantom of the Opera). 

Also set to feature are Louise Dearman (Wicked), Trevor Dion Nicholas (Hamilton), and Classical Brit nominee Georgi Mottram. 

Tickets for the event will go on sale at 9am on Friday, and all money raised from the concert will be gifted to the Grade-1 listed venue. Last Night of The Proms is presented by Lytham Festival organisers Cuffe and Taylor and follows the success of previous Proms concerts over the last two years, which have seen more than £200,000 donated to the continued restoration of Lytham Hall.

Jenkins is no stranger to the Lancashire coast, having last headlined the original Lytham Proms on Lytham Green in 2011. She said: “There’s something very special about a proms concert. They are always such wonderful events, and I am looking forward to returning to Lytham in a whole new setting.”

The Hall’s general manager Peter Anthony said: “We are absolutely delighted that once again Lytham Festival is bringing another world-renowned artist to our magnificent Lytham Hall.

“The money raised with the two previous Last Night of the Proms concerts has been incredible and is a great boost to support our ongoing projects. We now look forward to welcoming Katherine Jenkins for what will be a truly wonderful evening.”
