Legendary Nile Rodgers and Chic are final act announced for Ludlow Castle concerts
The final artist has been announced for Ludlow Castle's Within the Walls event – and it's a big one.
Music legend Nile Rodgers and Chic will be coming to Shropshire this summer as part of a series of concerts held within the walls of Ludlow Castle.
An American musician, record producer, composer and co-founder of Chic, Nile Rodgers has sold more than 500 million albums and 75 million singles worldwide.
Commenting on the announcement, Ludlow Castle manager, Gemma England said: “And last, but by no means least Nile Rodgers & Chic are the final act to join our line-up for Ludlow’s new Within the Walls event. Together with Futuresound we are incredibly excited and proud to be bringing world-renowned artists to our medieval castle.
"The response to the concerts so far has been incredible and we have no doubt that this really will be a summer to remember.”
Nile Rodgers is a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, a three-time Grammy Award-winner and a recipient of the Recording Academy's Lifetime Achievement Award.
He has produced songs for world-renowned artists including Like a Virgin by Madonna, Let's Dance by David Bowie, The Reflex by Duran Duran and Upside Down by Diana Ross.
