Also taking to the stage will be young soprano Laura Wright.

Marti Pellow commented, "I'm just delighted to have been invited to perform on the last night of the Lytham Festival - it's going to be an amazing evening of some of my favourite songs of all time, it’s also a real privilege to be working with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra again. I know we’re going to end up creating something very special that night."
