BRINGING IT BACK TO BEAUTIFUL BURGHLEY
We returned to the stunning grounds of Burghley House last Saturday, delighting thousands of partygoers with an evening of perfectly orchestrated euphoria. Performing more tracks than ever in the show’s 11-year history, the 45-piece Urban Soul Orchestra, conducted by Stephen Hussey, led the Lincolnshire audience on a five-and-a-half-hour celebration of the very-best in White Isle-infused dance music.
And going by the reaction on our social channels, the sold-out show was a real hit with those that attended. Sarah B. commented on Facebook, “A brilliant night dancing under the summer sun. Super efficient and well organised too. Thank you to all those putting on this concert. We will be booking for next year.” Annette M., who was part of the team raising funds for Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice, said: “The event is always so well organised, everything is looked after and it just gets bigger and BETTER every year! Thank you so, so much!” Emma C. added: “Such a great night, atmos was amazing, thank you Classic Ibiza, Goldierocks, London Community Gospel Choir [and] Urban Soul Orchestra. See you next year!”
Classic Ibiza debutant DJ Meera kicked-off proceedings at 5.30pm, before being joined by members of Urban Soul Orchestra for the new Chill-Out Set. Settling into the family-friendly vibe over their picnics, the crowd shimmied to a perfect blend of laid-back classics, including from Groove Armada, Massive Attack and The Orb.
Urban Soul Orchestra, DJ Goldierocks and London Community Gospel Choir then took centre stage for the Ghost Ship Sundowner Set, with the BPM taking a noticeable uptick. New orchestral interpretations of Eple by Röyksopp and Release The Pressure by Leftfield opened the set, which also included firm Classic Ibiza favourites from the likes of Goldie, Adamski and Fatboy Slim.
Classic Ibiza’s very-own DJ Goldierocks then took control of the decks for her Deep House Set, setting the scene for the evening’s main event. At 9.30pm she was rejoined on stage by Urban Soul Orchestra and London Community Gospel Choir for the Dance Set, a high-octane mix of house classics, with fresh reinventions of Todd Terry’s Something Goin’ On and Dennis Ferrer’s Hey Hey, joining perennial floor-fillers from The Prodigy, Faithless, Gala and many more. All accompanied by a spectacular laser and light show, the concert reached a rapturous climax at 11pm.
