The Greenwich Festivals: Summer Sessions

21-25 July (excluding Sat 24)
Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich, SE10 9LW

I Am Kloot are nominated for the Mercury Music Prize 2010. Catch them playing with Athlete at Greenwich Summer Sessions on 25 July.

A new outdoor concert series in the majestic setting of the Old Royal Naval College, right in the heart of Greenwich, with some leading names from across the music world.

The four stunning music events, themed around Greenwich’s unique heritage and history - Rebels, Royals, Rivers and Runners - will help to celebrate Greenwich’s role as a host borough for London 2012 as the two year countdown to the Olympic and Paralympic Games begins.

Special ticket discount applies for all London Borough of Greenwich residents.

“I’m thrilled to be able to celebrate Greenwich as part of the Summer Sessions. I’ve lived and worked in the borough all of my life. My Big Band and I are proud to be based here and all of our recordings and collaborations have been recorded in Greenwich. I jumped at the chance to celebrate its unique history and begin the preparations for its appointment as a Royal borough and celebrate our wonderful part of London in style. The Summer Sessions is going to be a fantastic four days of music.”
