One Chippenham

March 2026 Waverley Album Listening Event for Dorothy House Hospice
2026-03-18 20:00 - 22:30 (Europe/London) | The Waverley, Chippenham, United Kingdom
This month we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Hospice with three 50 year old Irish rock albums on vinyl (with a nod to St Patrick’s Day).
We will have:
Thin Lizzy ‘Jailbreak’ – released 26 March 1976
Rory Gallagher ‘Calling Card’ – released 22 October 1976
Horslips ‘The Book of Invasions: A Celtic Symphony’ – released 12 November 1976
All are welcome to our monthly Album Listening Party fundraiser and there is no entry fee, but voluntary donations to the Hospice are always very welcomed.

Sparkly Singers
2026-03-19 20:00 - 21:15, 2026-03-26 20:00 - 21:15, 2026-04-02 20:00 - 21:15 | Lansdowne Hall – Derry Hill
Sparkly Singers is the award-winning Wiltshire-based choir experience, founded with the simple aim of bringing the joy and benefits of group singing to everyone, regardless of age, experience or ability.
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.
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.
So if you simply love to sing, but have yet to find the choir that perfectly complements your sense of fun, why not enquire about one of our FREE taster sessions and come and see what we’re all about.

The Fureys: Farewell Tour
2026-04-18 19:30 - 22:00 | Neeld Community & Arts Centre, The Neeld, High Street, Chippenham, Wiltshire, SN15 3ER, United Kingdom
After three previous performances at the Neeld, the Fureys will play their last ever concert here as part of their Farewell Tour on Saturday 18th April 2026.
Legends of Irish music & song, the Fureys are renowned for their hit songs, including ‘I Will Love You’, ‘When You Were Sweet Sixteen’, ‘The Green Fields of France’, ‘The Old Man’, ‘Red Rose Café’, ‘From Clare to Here’, ‘Her Father Didn’t Like Me Anyway’, ‘Leaving Nancy’ and ‘Steal Away’, which they will perform as they take to our stage for the final time.
The oldest of the brothers, Eddie Furey, left home in 1966 and travelled to Scotland at the time of the great folk revival, where he met and shared accommodation with then unknown folk singers Billy Connolly and Gerry Rafferty.
In 1972, Gerry Rafferty wrote ‘Her Father Didn’t Like Me Anyway’ for Eddie. BBC Radio 1 presenter, the late John Peel, made it his single of the year.
They are particularly proud of their UK chart success with songs such as ‘I Will Love You’ and ‘When You Were Sweet Sixteen’, which in turn helped bring Irish folk and traditional music to a completely new audience. The band made their Top of the Pops debut in 1981.
Eddie Furey recalls how “many musicians have told us we influenced them after hearing a record from their parents or grandparents’ collection”. Dave Stewart of The Eurythmics has credited Eddie with teaching him his first chords on the guitar while still a teenager. Eddie would return the compliment by joining Dave on stage in Paris for a jam during Dave’s wedding to Bananarama’s Siobhan Fahey.
Their songs stir many emotions: tears and laughter, sadness and joy.
Tickets: £29
Duration: 140 minutes, including 20 minute interval
Please contact the venue for any access requirements.
Tickets are also available through our Box Office on 01249 446699, from the Neeld Box Office or at the Town Hall.
Tickets are non-refundable unless this event is cancelled or postponed.

April 22nd 2026 Waverley Album Listening Party Fundraiser With Free Live Music From Nuala Honan
2026-04-22 19:30 - 22:30 | The Waverley, Chippenham, United Kingdom
A monthly music fundraiser event for Dorothy House Hospice, now celebrating its 50th anniversary, featuring classic album playback using donated hi-fi equipment and occasional live music.
Originally from rural outback Australia, Nuala Honan was awarded the South Australian Music Industry Award for Most Outstanding Female Vocalist before moving to England (aged just 19) to be closer to her family’s Irish musical heritage and an adventurous music scene. Now part of Bristol’s vibrant music community, she has previously performed for us at The Waverley alongside Samuel Fox (aka Mossfellow) at our 1st anniversary event in August 2025. She returns to showcase her own 2020 album ‘Doubt & Reckoning’, chosen by BBC6Music as ‘Album Of The Day’ back then and supported by DJs Lauren Laverne and Tom Robinson. We will listen to the album in full on vinyl and Nuala will perform some tracks from this live along with some new work-in-progress songs destined for a new album. Nuala will be happy to discuss her music and will have copies of her album to purchase.
Alongside this Nuala chose Jeff Buckley’s 1994 debut and only studio album ‘Grace’ for us to listen to and discuss – a truly classic, if perhaps tragic, record. Jeff was the subject of a celebrated 2025 documentary film ‘It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley.’
We will finish the evening by remembering the music of Prince, who left us 10 years ago on April 21st, 2016, by playing a couple of tracks from his 1991 multi-platinum hit double-LP ‘Diamonds & Pearls.’
As usual all are welcome to this event, which is FREE to attend, but voluntary donations to the work of the Hospice are of course very much appreciated.
