KATHERINE JENKINS' SPECIAL GUEST ANNOUNCED

Following last week’s announcement that the Bootleg Beatles will be supporting Status Quo at this year’s Glastonbury Abbey Extravaganza Michael Eavis has now just made a further statement with regards to this year’s acts at the Abbey.

Best recognised when sporting an over-sized moustache in the role of spoof opera star ‘Gio Compario’, real opera star Wynne Evans has proved that he’s not just known for his performances during the commercial breaks . His album ‘A Song In My Heart’ recently reached number 1 in the classical charts and he also took to the stage earlier in the year in the fantastic opera ‘Anna Nicole’ at London’s Royal Opera House.

Wynne, from Carmarthen in South Wales, said, “People have sometimes said to me that I don’t take opera seriously enough, but as far as I’m aware there’s no rulebook that says opera can’t be fun too”.

One thing that’s for sure is that there will be plenty of fun at this year’s Glastonbury Abbey Extravaganza.
Status Quo and the Bootleg Beatles will play on August 6 while Katherine Jenkins will be accompanied by the National Symphony Orchestra and Wynne Evans on August 7.
