Experience Edward Byrnes & Connie Stevens live on July 29th

Edward Byrnes and Connie Stevens are scheduled to perform at Gloucester Cathedral on July 29, 2026. Both artists gained prominence during the early 1960s as teen idols, achieving success through television and music. Byrnes is primarily known for his role in the television series *77 Sunset Strip* and released several popular singles including “Kookie, Kookie, Lend Me Your Comb.” Stevens rose to fame with roles in films like *Diamond Head* and *Palm Springs Weekend*, alongside a successful recording career featuring songs such as “Sixteen Reasons” and “Watch My Smoke Signal.” Their musical style blends elements of pop, rock and roll, and balladry reflective of the era.

Gloucester Cathedral’s history spans over 1300 years, originating as a Benedictine abbey founded in 678 AD. The current Gothic structure largely dates from the 11th to 15th centuries. It is renowned for its stunning architecture, particularly its fan vaulting in the Quire—a unique example of Perpendicular Gothic design—and its large Great East Window.
