The ELO Encounter
2025-08-08 19:30 - 22:00 | Neeld Community & Arts Centre, The Neeld, High Street, Chippenham, Wiltshire, SN15 3ER, United Kingdom
Roll over Beethoven, because the greatest tribute to Jeff Lynne’s Electric Light Orchestra is here!
In an all-live show featuring soaring strings, striking vocal harmonies and playing all the much loved songs from ELO’s hit-filled library including ‘Evil Woman’, ‘Telephone Line’ and ‘Don’t Bring Me Down’. The ELO Encounter promises a night filled with rock, roll and blue skies that would make even Mozart mambo and Bach boogie! So, ‘Hold On Tight’ because ‘Rock and Roll Is King’ in a show that is guaranteed to have you partying ‘All Over The World’.
Not only flawlessly recreating the wonderful music of ELO, it’s a spectacular live show from start to finish. Stunning lights and special effects create an atmosphere that will have you fully immersed in the whole experience. As the ELO Encounter reel off ELO classic hit after hit, it’s guaranteed to have the hairs on the back of your neck dancing in time to the music!
As a recent reviewer remarked, “Not really a tribute, that cheapens what this band does which is to transport you back to those days. So sensitively and authentically done, at times it felt like it was actually ELO being mirrored up there on the stage”.
That’s what The ELO Encounter tribute show is all about.
★★★★★ “Certainly went down a storm!” – Quay Theatre
★★★★★ “A brilliant night out” – Steve Scruton – BBC Radio
★★★★★ “Amazing … a fantastic band” – Tony Fisher – BBC Radio
★★★★★ “I’ve never seen such a standing ovation here!” – Braintree Arts Theatre
★★★★★ “Simply outstanding … thank you ELO Encounter” – Road House Birmingham
★★★★★ “Best Tribute band we have seen at the Fisher in a very very long time.” – Fisher Theatre

Waverley Album Listening Event Birthday Party
2025-08-20 19:30 | The Waverley, Chippenham, United Kingdom
This month’s event marks both the one-year anniversary of the opening of The Waverley bar in Chippenham and a full year of our monthly vinyl listening event fundraisers for Dorothy House Hospice in the bar.
This month we have versatile multi-instrumentalist Samuel Fox from Bristol coming along to play live for us. Samuel is deeply ingrained in Bristol’s music scene and works in many other bands with a repertoire spanning jazz, R&B, hip-hop, indie-folk, and pop, whilst excelling in improvised music. He is a man of many talents: for example, he also plays bass guitar for Sam Brookes’ indie-rock band Supalung and he toured Canada recently with them; and at Glastonbury this year, he also played bass for the Welsh rap artist. Lemfreck.
At our event he will be showcasing tracks he has written for his own indie-folk project band that he calls Mossfellow. He does not yet have a physical release on vinyl or CD for his EP ‘Quotidian’ that came out at the end of May this year, but we will be able to listen to a high-resolution digital copy to contrast with his live acoustic performance, accompanied by his band member, Nuala Honan. Samuel suggested we pair his work with an LP by Nick Drake, who he cites as one of the key influences for the Mossfellow project, so we will listen to Nick’s debut album ‘Five Leaves Left’. We have a brand-new copy of the vinyl LP to play which has been kindly loaned to us by the owner of Resolution Records in Bath, who is also a keen supporter of Dorothy House Hospice.
The music starts at 8pm and there is no charge for entry, but voluntary donations to the Hospice are welcomed. We will have a raffle of prizes to encourage you to dig deep – donations can be made in cash or by card via a dedicated online portal.
