"We are really excited by the addition of Patty and Ward Thomas to the list of fabulous musicians appearing at my first festival." Said Bob Harris, "The full line line-up is a wonderful balance between exciting new talent and established stars, Patty and Ward Thomas will provide the perfect end to a perfect day in a perfect venue. I think it’s a great way to start this new series of one day festivals."

The Cadogan Hall festival is the first in a series of plans to host other intimate Under The Apple Tree events both in London and around the country. "Our intention was always to allow UTAT to grow organically as a brand" explained creative director Miles Myerscough-Harris, "We are committed to creating events that work for artists and the audience. Our Festival In A Day is one step in that direction."
