Posted May 16, 200817 yr 16/05/08 JULY PERFORMANCE Yet another summer date for Will! Will has just confirmed that he will also be performing at this year's Chiswick House Festival on 10th July. Buy tickets and find out more here. It's a 4,000 capacity event and tickets cost £150 which includes food and drink. Will will be sharing an all-star line up with The Feeling, Sophie Ellis Bextor, The Kooks and Goldfrapp. The doors open at 3pm and the event finishes at midnight. Will is a big admirer of Chiswick House and the event benefits the Chiswick House Restoration Fund and Gardens Trust. The festival is made possible by the private members' club, the Soho House Group. A big fan of performing at historic houses, the festival will see him showcasing brand new, classic and favourite material. Meanwhile, Chiswick House Gardens are the birthplace of the English Landscape Movement and are amongst the most influential gardens in the world. Following decades of wear and tear and limited funding, a major regeneration project is now underway to restore and revive them. Funded by money from the Heritage Lottery Fund, generous foundations and visionary individuals, the Festival is a significant part of the effort to raise the remaining £1million plus.

I only want to be there for Will. ;) Can't see this one being feasible given my travel costs & accommodation on top. Would so love to hear those new songs though. Going off to sulk. :cry: Edited May 16, 200817 yr by truly talented

May 16, 200817 yr Crikey! 150 pounds is a bit expensive isn't it? :o even if it were a bus ride away I doubt I'd be going, to be honest, I can't really see the the other acts fans forking out that much either.

It seems late in the day to sell such expensive tickets unless a lot have already been sold to corporate businesses. :unsure:
May 17, 200817 yr It seems late in the day to sell such expensive tickets unless a lot have already been sold to corporate businesses. :unsure: Apparently they did the same concert last year ...it was supposed to be a one off but because it was so successful they decided to do another one this year. here is the line up from 2007 http://www.chiswickw4.com/default.asp?sect...sohohouse15.htm

Looks like there could be a few more added. Wonder if there'll be a lot of drunks on the day getting their money's worth. :P Bet the queues at the bars are horrendous. Not sure all fans are like Will's frightened to leave their spot. :lol: Edited May 17, 200817 yr by truly talented

May 19, 200817 yr I thought i could not afford to go but hubby offered to change a meeting he was going to so that he could attend in london ...then he would be able to drive me there and back to the concert [ he will fill up his time going to the cinema ...he is lovely :lol: ] so because there are no hotel/trains/taxis/ food and drink to pay for....it works out the same price i paid for Ronnie scotts. Just booked tickets :w00t: :w00t: :w00t:
