Burt Bacharach will headline the 2014 Wilderness Festival, which takes place Aug. 7-10 in the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside.
In addition to the previously announced concert dates, Burt has added three U.K. festival appearances to his summer 2014 itinerary. On July 11, he’ll perform at the Henley Festival in Henley-on-Thames, England. On Aug. 7, he’ll appear at the Brecon Jazz Festival in Brecon, Wales. And on Aug. 9, he’ll headline the Wilderness Festival in Oxfordshire, England.

Huge Burt Bacharach (and Hal David) fan. Can’t wait for the gig in London on July23rd. Anyway here’s my own tribute:-
24 Hours From Tulse Hill
I hear the music coming out of your radio
It takes me for a ride, like those
trains, and boats and planes,
right up into heaven,
where the angels are looking at you,
sprinkling moon dust in your hair.
But you’ll never get there,
if you break my heart.
Ask Burt and Hal
The binary stars.
Or Dionne, or Dusty,
caressing sweet intervals
with a singers kiss,
and looks that time can’t erase.
Its a major, minor act
of unrequited love.
These magic sha – la – la- la – la moments.
Rivers of melody
that flow from the heart,
take in all loves bends, and falls,
to arrive in four minutes flat,
with a bouquet of flowers,
right outside your door.
It’s something even non believers, can believe in.
