FIFTY 08 Card-holders and their guests are to be given exclusive access to a concert to celebrate the arrival of the QE2 in Liverpool.
The Cunard QE2 40th Anniversary Concert will feature the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir and will take place at Liverpool Cathedral on September 21.
The concert, which is set to be one of the highlights of the year, is a joint celebration to honour the 40th birthday of the QE2 and mark the official opening of the City of Liverpool Cruise Terminal.
It is being staged by Liverpool council in collaboration with Cunard.
Acclaimed soprano Lesley Garrett will perform along with lay clerks and choristers from Liverpool Cathedral and the drummers of the Royal Scots Guard.
