Elton By Candlelight

Elton By Candlelight is a brand new production that showcases Elton John’s greatest hits in an intimate evening lit by candles. The concert features renowned Elton specialist Sam Wilson, who brings the Rocket Man’s astonishing compositions to life with magnificent handmade costumes, fascinating stories, and world-class musicianship. The audience can expect to sing along to classics from across the years, such as ‘Your Song’, ‘Bennie And The Jets’, and ‘Candle In The Wind’. The idea for this captivating concert has been inspired by some of Elton’s rarer solo gigs, as well as Sam’s appearance on ITV’s This Morning, where he played the transcendent ‘Tiny Dancer’ live. Sam has been performing Elton’s songs in hundreds of theatres, festivals, and venues for 7 years, and first started incorporating covers of his tunes in his college band!
