Bob Harris' Stand By Me Celebration Concert: A Tribute to a Radio Legend
The upcoming Bob Harris’ Stand By Me celebration concert at London's Royal Albert Hall will feature a star-studded line-up including Carly Pearce, The Shires, and more to pay tribute to the iconic BBC Radio 2 DJ. Harris, who announced his retirement in June, has been a prominent figure in the broadcasting industry for over 50 years, particularly known for his support of country music in the UK. His decision to step down was motivated by a desire to focus on his health and reflect on his long and fulfilling career in radio. The concert will showcase a diverse range of performers, including Roger Daltrey, Paul Weller, Robert Plant, and others, who have shared longstanding relationships with Harris and are eager to celebrate his legacy on stage at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall. The event promises to be a memorable evening of music and camaraderie, bringing together artists who have been influenced by Harris throughout their careers. Tickets for the concert will be available for purchase starting on Friday, August 7th.
