The Full Works Concert - Friday 4 July, 8pm
Jane Jones marks American Independence Day with two hours of music from across the pond.
It's U.S. Independence Day - commonly known as the Fourth of July - the day on which America marks the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, declaring independence from British rule.
As our American cousins are out and about enjoying fireworks, parades, barbecues, fairs, picnics and other festivities, Jane Jones has some of the greatest music to emerge from the United States in the 20th century.
