Their 2023 visit sees the return of the Festival’s Celebration series, with an in-depth tour through the back catalogue of hit songs by the sensational singer-songwriters Carole King and Joni Mitchell and the late, great Burt Bacharach, who wrote for a Who’s Who of talent in the 1960s and beyond, including Dusty Springfield, Dionne Warwick, Cilla Black, Sir Tom Jones and The Carpenters.
