THERE’S non-stop entertainment at Melksham Assembly Hall, with a whole host of musical acts coming up this week.
On Tuesday 18th December, the Assembly Hall welcomes back Neil Sands with his Christmas Memories show.
Start Christmas in style this year as Neil Sands and his fabulous West End cast invite you to take a festive trip back down memory lane, with the new 2018 production of their dazzling Christmas show.
This unforgettable afternoon of nonstop nostalgia, takes you back to the time when Christmas was the most wonderful time of the year and is filled with over 60 of everyone’s favourite Christmas songs and carols. So after Rocking Around The Christmas Tree, you can watch Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire, or take a Sleigh Ride to a Winter Wonderland to the sound of Jingle Bells, meeting Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer and Frosty The Snowman on the way, before dreaming of A White Christmas.
Then be transported back to a heart-warming Victorian Carol Concert including Silent Night, Oh Come All Ye Faithful, Deck The Halls, Away In A Manger, Ding Dong Merrily On High and so many more including a rousing version of The Twelve Days of Christmas. Wrapping everyone in the true spirit of Christmas.
It wouldn’t be Christmas without pop hits like Slade’s Merry Christmas Everybody, Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas is You, Wizards I Wish it Could Be Christmas Every Day, and Shakin Steven’s Merry Xmas Everyone. The festive hits just rock on and on.
Described as “Like A Sparkly Christmas Card Come To Life” with its shimmering stage set, beautiful Christmas trees, glittering fairy lights, and even falling snow. Mixed with over 40 stunning costumes, this is the perfect pre-Christmas treat, guaranteed to having you singing along from start to finish, bringing back many happy memories of Christmases past and warming your heart on the coldest winter’s day. Tickets £13/£11 concessions.
On Saturday 29th December, ‘Midlife Crisis’ – an evening of DJs playing music inspired by the history of indie, soul, funk, ska, Britpop, punk, pop classics and grunge from the late 80s to the mid 90s and beyond – will have the crowds dancing the night away.
Organisers say, “An evening of DJing for those who are old enough to know better, that have refused to grow up and hanker for music to still mean something. Music that has not been processed and produced by the corporate wheels of industry. Basically, music you can dance to but nothing from today’s charts. Old stuff and one or two new ones that’re good!” Tickets £10.
All tickets are available from the Assembly Hall on 709887, Melksham TIC in Church Street or visit www. melkshamtown .co.uk/ assembly hall.
