The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, established in London in 1987, is a versatile ensemble. It performs diverse genres, including classical, film, video game scores, and symphonic rock and pop arrangements. Known for innovative concert formats, the orchestra collaborates with artists like Andrea Bocelli and Kylie Minogue, and has performed with holograms of Roy Orbison.

Ian Broudie is the songwriter behind Lightning Seeds. His 1994 album Jollification sold a million copies and featured songs like Pure, The Life of Riley and Three Lions. See You in The Stars was written in Liverpool and his London home studio, with co-writes by Terry Hall and James Skelly.

Iconic rock band, The Who, emerged from London’s Mod scene in the '60s, famed for dynamic live shows and hits like "My Generation" and "Baba O'Riley." Renowned for Pete Townshend’s inventive compositions and guitar-smashing antics, they created rock operas like Tommy and Quadrophenia. Collaborated with managers Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp, their work shaped rock history. Despite tragedies and lineup changes, they received Kennedy Center Honors and continue to tour.

Richard Ashcroft, born in Billinge, Wigan, fronted Britain’s the Verve, leading them to multi-platinum 1997 album Urban Hymns with hits like “Bitter Sweet Symphony.” He won Ivor Novello Songwriter of the Year (1998) and later Outstanding Contribution (2019).
