Rave reviews for classic Ibiza ahead of CHatsworth House return this Saturday
Ahead of Classic Ibiza’s return to Chatsworth House this Saturday, the show kicked off its 10th anniversary tour in style last weekend to a sold-out audience at Warwickshire’s Ragley Hall. Stephen Hussey’s 32-piece Urban Soul Orchestra (USO) performed an incredible “best of” set of over 50 house classics from the show’s decade-long repertoire. The concert also featured a special guest performance from London Community Gospel Choir (LCGC), who added their soulful and uplifting vocals to a number of tracks during the evening.
Plaudits for the first show of Classic Ibiza’s 2025 summer tour have been pouring in via its social channels.
Concertgoer Blue Sunshine, summed things up perfectly: “Absolutely superb event! Great organisation and atmosphere, and so much talent on that stage! Best time I’ve had in so long and I’ll be back every year, long may it continue.”
Fellow reveller, Nadia Elizabeth Watt, commented: “My first time and it was amazing, bringing the whole family next year.”
Sam Fisher added on Facebook: “Absolutely amazing night. 2nd time I’ve been and came with people who have never been before and was not sure what to expect. They are now converted, and we are looking forward to coming back next year. Thank you xx”
