A lunchtime of silly songs and barbershop festive fun! \u00a0

This Christmas, Close Enough Barbershop Quartet brings you a special musical revue. \u00a0 Close Enough Barbershop Quartet won Best Small Vocal Ensemble (\u201922, \u201923 and \u201924) in Buxton for their ‘witty repartee’ and ‘vocal acrobatics’. \u00a0

Woody Allen (tenor), Thomas Eyre (lead), Tom Rogers (baritone) and Johnny Shipley (bass) have spent the last decade singing their brand of light-hearted and lyrical songs across the green and pleasant parts of the UK, with performances at the Big Feastival, and the Burford, Bath, Brighton and Buxton Festivals. They also toured distilleries in Islay, but they\u2019re a bit hazy about that. \u00a0

With sparkling festive numbers (from the likes of Perry Como) and some familiar favourites too (from Louis Armstrong and the Marx Brothers), this special Christmas offering promises to be a cracker! \u00a0

This concert is being held to support the work of local charity Providence Row. Tickets \u00a35 available at this link<\/a> with further opportunities to make a donation on the day.

\u2018The fresh educated wit in the banter of the quartet is what really gives \u2018Close Enough\u2019 that additional flair as an entertainment, over and above great close harmony singing.\u2019<\/em> – Buxton Fringe Award 2022<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
