Crescent concerts to come?

He’s going to be wowing huge stadiums full of fans all over Europe, but Robbie Williams asked for a special, more intimate affair here in Bath.

This weekend, he’ll be performing two concerts in the front garden of our historic Royal Crescent and following on from the likes of Michael Buble and The Three Tenors, who have drawn thousands to the lawns in the past.

Quite big gaps between those two shows, but in the future, we could see something like this again in two to three years.

Just some of the information coming my way during a Zoom meeting with two of the busiest men on the show site.

I have been chatting with John Empson from Senbla Promotions and Colin Clarkson Short of the Royal Crescent Society, and asked how the setup was going.
