2006

Lesley Garrett, the UK´s best-loved opera singer, was the star of the 2006 Prom on The Close accompanied by the internationally-acclaimed Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Philip Ellis.

"Lesley Garrett's warm personality and fantastic voice helped make the 2006 Prom on The Close the brightest and best yet." (More...)

Concert-goer Adam Anderson, 28, a carpenter from Weston-super-Mare:

"I know nothing about opera, but there's only one word to describe the music - perfect. The setting is amazing, the weather couldn't be better and everyone's having the time of their lives."

Julian Telling, Chairman of the Prom:

"Bristol has an outstanding musical tradition. The Prom complements this by providing the city with a unique and family-orientated outdoor event which combines the best in classical music with a genuinely enjoyable and moving experience."
