Lulu and friends
Following her electrifying performance alongside Jools Holland last year, Lulu makes a blazing return to the Kew stage next month performing her best known hits including Shout, Relight My Fire and To Sir with Love.
Lulu said: ‘I’m so thrilled to be coming back to Kew this summer with my own show. It’s an extraordinary and beautiful place to perform. And it will be great to have some of friends there alongside me. It’s been ages since I’ve performed with them, so I’m really looking forward to a brilliant night of music.’
Joining Lulu are Kiki Dee and Paul Carrack and together Lulu, Kiki and Paul will perform a blistering set of toe-tapping, hand-clapping, sing-along hits that put a smile on the face, all topped with a spectacular fireworks display against the stunning backdrop of the Royal Botanic Gardens.

Expect party favourites Lleva Me El Compas, Bamboleo, and Volare as well as some rootsier material, returning to authentic Andalusian and Moorish sources.
