Henley Festival Recap

divider

Henley Festival – the UK’s only black-tie festival – returned last night for a second evening of glorious sunshine, music, arts, comedy, gastronomy alongside art and sculpture installations on the green banks of the Thames.

Headlining Thursday, the most successful Irish boyband of all time Westlife took to the Floating Stage, thrilling the crowd with no less than four wardrobe changes during their set of chart-topping hits including Flying Without Wings, World of Our Own and Uptown Girl.

Bringing the laughs was national treasure Jo Brand, with more music from lauded singer-songwriter Tom Speight, celebrated pop rock group Eddie & The Murphys, and a performance from Jamie Cooke as part of Henley Festival’s charitable initiative RISE, supporting new artists. And much more!
