Stars of the stage and screen have been announced as part of the line-up for this summer’s Glamis Prom.
The Scottish Pops Orchestra will be joined by big names including West End superstar Kerry Ellis, Tom Urie of BBC Proms in the Park and Saskia Eng, who first found fame on The Voice.
With tickets already on sale, organisers are set to reveal more exciting acts in the coming weeks.
The Prom at Glamis Castle has become a highlight of the summer season for the many music lovers who enjoy entertainment against the regal backdrop of Angus’s historic castle.
The theme for this year’s event is The Great British Songbook and the medley of home-grown-classics will include music from Elgar to Ed Sheeran, as well as a few surprises along the way.
Kerry Ellis, who has performed in musicals such as Wicked, We Will Rock You, Oliver! And Les Miserables, said: “I’m delighted to be joining the Glamis Prom this year.
“I’m honoured to be continually supported by the amazing Scottish crowds, I’m so excited to be performing at this magical event.”
Kerry, who is in the middle of a tour celebrating 20 years since her West End debut, has collaborated with artists such as Brian May. In 2015, she took over the role of Grizabella from Nicole Scherzinger in Cats.
Also performing will be Tom Urie, who is best known for his role as Big Bob in BBC drama River City. The accomplished musician, singer, writer and producer trained at Perth College.
He recently shed an impressive 19 stones in weight and has gone on to achieve new musical heights such as singing Nessun Dorma with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra at BBC Proms in the Park.
The youngest of the headline acts will be 16-year-old Saskia Eng, the Edinburgh singer who wowed judges on The Voice UK earlier this year.
Saskia is studying singing and piano at the City of Edinburgh Music School. She has been performing since she started busking on the streets of Edinburgh aged just 10.
As always, prom-goers will be encouraged to ramp up the glamour for the occasion and revellers can purchase gazebo pitches and bring their own picnics to enjoy some food and drink al fresco.
