Performance NotesJoin Parkinson's UK in the magnificent surroundings of the Royal Albert Hall for a fantastic evening of music and comedy! The event, hosted by Al Murray, will bring together a spectacular line-up of artist, including Armstrong & Miller, Alfie Boe, Rebecca Ferguson, Jason Manford, Jane Horrocks, Rob Deering and Watson & Oliver.

It will also feature guest conductor appearances by Jane Asher and Sarah Brightman plus a full 60 piece orchestra and choral ensemble.

This event is the brainchild of music producer, composer and conductor James Morgan, who was diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson's at the age of 42. He and his partner and fellow producer Juliette Pochin immediately saw the importance of using their musical connections to highlight the impact of Parkinson's and to show that it is possible to continue to work and live life to the full after diagnosis, as James continues to do.
