programme - Thursday 8 July

FLOATING STAGE: 8.45pm - 10.00pm
Will Young

Bryn Terfel

One of the world's most in-demand singers, loved for his style, panache and sense of fun as much as for his magnificent bass-baritone voice.

He is joined by the Philharmonia, conductor Gareth Jones and the London Welsh Chorale for an evening of opera and popular songs.

BANDSTAND: 5.55pm - 7.00pm

Dixie Ticklers Dixie Ticklers

The development of jazz has to be one of the most organic and fascinating stories in music. Dom James and his Dixie Ticklers would like to provide the first chapter for you with an atomic Dixieland explosion. Combining some of the brightest young talent in the UK, with the oldest charts from New Orleans archives, their goal is to entertain with skill and charm.

Kid Ory, Sidney Bechet, Louis Armstrong and Jelly Roll Morton would hopefully have approved of their renditions of "Salty Dog", "I wish I could Shimmie like my sister Kate" and "Wild Man Blues". These guys are so hot, that even New Orleans enthusiast Woody Allen has a copy of their record.

CLUB RENDEZ-VOUS EARLY: 7.00pm - 8.00pm

Australian String Quartet Australian String Quartet

Australian String Quartet: one of the world’s great string ensembles performs music by Haydn and Schubert and music by two leading Australian composers.

FLOATING STAGE: 10.30pm - 11.15pm

Fezeka High School Choir, Guguletu Township, South Africa Fezeka Choir

CLUB RENDEZ-VOUS LATE: 10.45pm - midnight

Peyoti for President Peyoti for President

Peyoti for President - fabulous sounds from fired up seven piece that has supported the likes of Manu Chao, Ojos de Brujo, Ozomatli, Los de Abajo, and Tinariwen. They hit the ground running and don't let up.

CAFÉ DU SOIR: 10.45pm - 11.45pm

Steve Rawlings Steve Rawlings

The irrepressible juggler-cum-stand up comedian. Fantastic technical skills and one-liners to kill. A man who flogs himself to death for a laugh – and who always gets one.

Immediately following the Floating Stage concert the skies above Henley will be filled with fireworks - one of the most loved hallmarks of the Henley Festival. Never an event to be missed, this year's show is quite simply called, ‘Maestro ...'
