Big bands from across the Atlantic will be among acts performing for free at the newly-refurbished bandstand in Cassiobury Park, Watford, this summer

Dates to watch out for include this Sunday (June 17) when the Voyageurs Ambassadors of Music from Missouri will perform (between noon and 2pm), and Oxhey community Choir will perform next Saturday (June 23, between 2 and 4pm)

Mayor of Watford Peter Taylor said: “It’s great that we can experience such excellent local and international performances right here in our own town.

“It’s testament to the success of Cassiobury – voted one of the UK’s top 10 parks – that we can attract such global talent.”
