Friday night sees the much-loved and acclaimed singer, recording artist, radio broadcaster and TV presenter Aled Jones performing repertoire from his impressive back catalogue, songs from his last solo album release ‘One Voice’ and a selection of seasonal classics. He will be joined by the sixteen piece Fidelity International choir and special guest, mezzo soprano singer Danielle Thomas.

BRIT and Ivor Novello Award winning singer and song writer KT Tunstall takes to the stage on Saturday night in a truly unique and intimate concert prior to her 2019 spring UK tour. This is an exceptional opportunity to hear and experience one of the most respected British singer songwriters who has sold over seven million albums in her career to date. Festival favourite Joe Corbin will be supporting KT Tunstall at this special concert.

On Sunday the legendary Latin singer and guitarist José Feliciano closes this December series of concerts in Rye with a programme that will include his greatest hits, repertoire from his latest album releases and a selection of festive Christmas songs. Feliciano has been hailed by critics throughout the world as “The greatest living guitarist” and he performs in Rye with his six piece band prior to performing for the Pope at the Vatican in Rome.
