A SPECIAL series of tribute concerts held in a spectacular lakeside setting this summer to help support a good cause.

Money from Music by the Lake 2019 at Kingston Maurward College, near Dorchester, which will be held from August 2 to 4, will go towards the Weldmar Hospicecare Trust.

On Friday, August 2, Elton John and ABBA tributes will take to the stage.

Absolutely Elton makes up the soundtrack of several generations with songs including Crocodile Rock, I’m still Standing and Rocket Man.

Abba's Angels, one of the UK’s leading ABBA tribute bands, comes to Music by the Lake for 2019 with their live choreographed show which will include hits including Dancing Queen, Take a Chance and Thank you for the Music.

The audience will be rocking by the lake on Saturday, August 3 when they can enjoy Bon Jovi and Queen tributes.

Wrong Jovi features some of the UK's finest professional musicians and a set list crammed full of sing-along anthems.

With Forever Queen, this Queen tribute act will leave you wanting more. With authentic clothing, and make-up, mannerisms and vocals, you will truly believe you are watching the real Queen in concert, organisers say.

A classical treat is in store on Sunday, August 4 when Dorset Sinfonia perform at Music by the Lake. They will draw on the talents of musicians throughout Dorset. With a repertoire covering classical music, film and show tunes, there will truly be something for everyone. Relax with a delicious cream tea (included) as you sit on the lawn overlooking Kingston Maurward Lake.

Early bird tickets for the Friday and Saturday night concerts are available until March 31.
