| Performance Notes | Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Neil Sedaka will return to the Royal Albert Hall in October 2014.
The history of rock 'n' roll would be incomplete without the innumerable contributions of Neil Sedaka. Over the past fifty years, Neil has written, performed, produced, and inspired countless songs, and his canon of compositions will continue to stand the test of time.
This special London concert will see the international hit-maker joined by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra as they perform some of the classic songs from his extensive back-catalogue, which includes Oh Carol, Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen, Calendar Girl, and (Is This The Way To) Amarillo.
"It's always a joy to come back to the UK, where it all turned around for me in the '70s. My most loyal fan base is here and they have always been the most supportive of my work. Can't wait to sing the classics, as well as some new ones!" Neil Sedaka
