Tower of London Music Festival 2007

Thursday 28th June – Saturday 14th July 2007


This prestigious Festival returns to The Tower of London for the third year in succession. Its perfect position in the heart of the city of London makes it an easy choice for corporate entertaining. The Tower Music Festival is a unique and memorable experience, combining the highest hospitality and catering with the most stunning historic venues, specially dressed and decorated for the occasion.

On arrival at the Tower’s formidable gates, VIP guests will be met by a Yeoman Warder and escorted to one of the historic apartments and rooms at the Tower to commence their exclusive hospitality experience.

This year’s menu has been exclusively created for the Festival by Gary Rhodes; chef, restaurateur, celebrity and author. His distinguished career, tireless attention to detail and unique mastery of the Great British Classics truly sets him apart and he will be a superb addition to this year’s Festival.

Somebody has to go and ask to see the twins. The babies, I mean.

Disgraceful. I'll buy the DVD instead.

Leave it to me! :lol:

I'm torn as to whether I should go for the full meal deal or just the champagne and canapes. I guess it depends on which champagne they're serving. Anything less than Cristal simply will not do darlings :roll:

I'll be on the webbernet tomorrow seeing as I haven't had any information about presales. I just love these small intimate shows.

I was hoping you'd volunteer, VG. Your our best bet for twin photos, I think. Turn on the charm! Glow with goodwill!

One step at a time, VG. Once you get the photo(s), we'll figure out the posting part...

John - from following the link it would appear that you got a cheaper rate. The dinner package is £250 and the champagne and canape package is a mere £220. And what's more the price excludes VAT at 17.5%. Still cheap at twice the price though! :lol:

The setting looks beautiful but it's going to be one of those shows where intimate is not the right word.

Should be a great show, bring your own champagne it will be cheaper. I dont think i'll bother with the canapes. My 11 yr old daughter must be the only 11 yr old going who wants to see Allen Toussaint.

I got a seat in Black A , Row L.

I'm still not sure I'll go. If a Irish show comes up , I may leave it at that and pass on the London ticket . Both would be superseded by a Montreux show. We ( and my bank manager) will see.

I got two seats in block A row U.

I can't get excited about this at the moment. It's probably because it's cost me £73 and I daresay the seats won't be that close to the stage.

I bought tickets having read they were already on sale at Ticketmaster. I glanced at Seetickets just after 9am and could have got tickets in Block A Row K.

I'm mad at myself.

Sounds like a bargain if the starting price was £45! How did you manage that one?

Tickets were priced £45, £55 and £65. I opted for the £65 and with those lovely charges the total cost of the ticket came to £73.

Having looked at the additional Euro dates it seems clear that Elvis 'n co. will not be playing Ireland or Montreux........so it's The Tower for me . I've just booked cheap flights for London, getting there on Fri. July 6 , returning to Dublin on Mon. the 9th. Hopefully I'll be able to blag. my way into the Indigo ( wherever it is..) show . Even if it is invite only , maybe I'll be let in , if only as compensation for having to endure last Monday's Secret Songs.........
