High Sheriff in Nomination of the East Riding of Yorkshire Jacky Bowes, has announced that along with the organising committee, she will be hosting the event at the Driffield Showground on the 25th of June 2022, Jacky went on to say;

“It’s almost 25 years to the very day of the planned concert, since we held the first Midsummer Spectacular which attracted just 198 people! Fast forward to the last concert in 2008 when nearly 4,000 attended and hopefully this year’s event will be bigger and better than ever before – and the perfect way to celebrate Her Majesty the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

“We have already received some amazing help from the corporate sector which put us on track to raised vital funds to help our four Yorkshire based charities we are supporting – The Tribune Trust, WISHH Charity (Working Independently to support Hull Hospitals), the Driffield Agricultural Society and The East Riding Committee of Macmillan Cancer Support.

“We have attracted a stellar cast of performers including the world famous Grimethorpe Colliery Band, the sensational violinist Kate Chruscicka and the East Riding Senior Wind Band. Add to that, a Last Night of the Proms finale and a firework display and you have all the ingredients for a truly memorable night.

“Finally, I can’t finish without a plea, and those of you who know me will expect nothing less. If there are any companies out there who might be able to offer help please, please do get in touch with me either on 07860 111246 or jacky@jackybowes.co.uk and it’s not one way traffic, we will give something back in return, I promise.”
