More names for Quarry concerts

Two more music stars have been added to the line-up for this year's Shrewsbury Quarry concert, it was announced today.

Eighties singer Howard Jones, who had six Top 10 UK hits between 1983 and 1985 including What is Love, New Song and Things Can Only Get Better will appear along with Soul queen Mica Paris at the event in the summer.

Headlining the show on July 9 in the outdoor venue will be Tony Hadley, fresh from the Spandau Ballet world tour, and he will also be joined on stage by multi-million selling artists, Rick Astley, ABC and Go West.

The artists will be playing songs from their massive repertoire of hit records and for the first time on this concert series they will also perform specially chosen duets and collaborations, backed by a line-up of musicians.

Gates will open at 6pm with the artists on stage from 7.30pm. There will also be a grand firework finale to round off what organisers promise to be a magical night out at one of the county's most attractive settings.
