Kedleston Hall is an extravagant temple to the arts. Commissioned in the 1750s by Nathaniel Curzon whose ancestors had resided at Kedleston since the 12th century. The house is framed by historic parkland and boasts opulent interiors intended to impress.
Designed for lavish entertaining, Kedleston Hall displays an extensive collection of paintings, sculpture and original furnishings, reflecting both the tastes of its creators and their fascination with the classical world of the Roman Empire.
Inherited by George Nathaniel Curzon, Viceroy of India between 1899 and 1905, the hall also houses the many objects he amassed during his travels in South Asia and the Middle East, and in his role leading British rule in India.

What a special night was that at RSL Club Southport last Saturday night where a FULL HOUSE of over 700 enjoyed The Ultimate Experience listening to the music of David Bowie, Elton John and Freddie Mercury as expertly presented by Wayne Vitale, Greg Andrew and John Blunt. It might only be the first month of the year but I have little doubt that show will prove to be THE SHOW of 2019. Was an honour and privilege being able to take photos last night.
In this album I have posted photos of Greg Andrew from the Elton John part of the show, I trust you will enjoy them
