One Chippenham

Sparkly Singers
2024-11-28 20:00 - 21:15, 2024-12-05 20:00 - 21:15, 2024-12-12 20:00 - 21:15 (Europe/London) | Lansdowne Hall – Derry Hill
Alongside our sessions in Chippenham (Monday lunchtimes) and Royal Wootton Bassett (Tuesday evenings), the Sparkly Singers meet every Thursday evening from 8:00pm at the Lansdowne Hall in Derry Hill.
Founded with the simple aim of bringing the joy and benefits of group singing to everyone, our emphasis is on singing in a way that is, above all else, fun.
Rather than splitting into parts and learning harmonies, we prefer instead to sing in unison, infusing songs with our own rather unique mix of humour, movement and the occasional wacky prop.
So if you simply love to sing, but have yet to find the choir that perfectly complements your sense of fun, why not come along to one of our FREE taster sessions and see what we’re all about.

2024-12-06 19:30 - 22:00 | Neeld Community & Arts Centre, The Neeld, High Street, Chippenham, Wiltshire, SN15 3ER, United Kingdom
Fasten your seatbelts – the Starman is here!! ‘Sound & Vision – A Tribute to David Bowie’ was launched on what would have been Bowie’s 75th birthday in 2022.
While his career spanned five decades, he maintained his relevance to both his long-term ardent fans and younger emerging audiences. His songs still have the ability to affect and influence music lovers across the world.
The 7-piece band offers audiences a chance to fully appreciate each complex nuance of his many, many songs. And they’re all there… Ziggy Stardust, Life on Mars, Starman, All the Young Dudes, Rebel-Rebel, China Girl… and so many more.
Chris Burke has an unmatched vocal similarity to Bowie. His vocal ability allows you to enjoy each song being performed as you’d want them to be. Perfectly recreating his voice. Close your eyes… you’d think he was in the room. But it’s not just about the vocals. The musicianship and talent of the other band members is truly world class. The line-up includes Jeff John (Lead Guitar), John Wilmott (Bass), Colin Elward (Keyboards), Simon Harry (Rhythm Guitar), Gareth Addey (Drums) and Mike Davies (Saxophone).
The show is mesmerising with lights and a wonderful soundscape, designed to stimulate all your senses…and it includes a few surprises too…
Celebrate David Bowie’s amazing music with us. It’ll be a memorable rock experience with the UK’s best sound-alike Bowie show.
Tickets: £18.50
Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes including interval
