What's on in Clench

Wiltshire, England

No stadium concerts here, just the good local stuff: markets, meetups, and events where you'll probably bump into someone you know. Classic Clench. Quiz nights, coffee mornings, craft fairs, book clubs, film screenings — the sort of calendar that makes somewhere feel properly local. Village halls with heating that works on a good day. Community centres that smell faintly of old carpet and possibility. Pubs hosting quizzes and open mics and talks about things you didn't know existed. We've found it all and put it in one place, because life's too short to check seventeen different websites every week.

Let's Raise the Roof: The Magnificant AKs together with the Bebington Bittermen

TICKETS https://www.eventbrite.com/e/lets-raise-the-roof-the-magnificant-aks-together-with-the-bebington-bitte-tickets-1986888110825?aff=oddtdtcreator You are invited to an evening of stunning a cappella harmonies and laugh-out-loud fun with these two fine groups of men. Be prepared to sing, laugh and maybe shed a tear or two ast hey share songs from the sublime to the ridiculous. Definitely not your ordinary male voice choirs. St Peter’s is a much-loved Marlborough landmark and highly valued by audiences and performers alike. At a time when many venues are struggling with increased costs, all proceeds from this concert will go to support the St Peter’s Charitable Trust and their work in preserving the venue for the community. The Magnificent AKs are the uniquely hilarious award-winning singing machine from that tranquil corner of North Wiltshire, Ashton Keynes. Nobody knows the exact reason why, but in 2008 the men of the village started to sing. They sang about sheds. And duct tape. And beer. Infact, they sang about everything that was important to them.From such humble beginnings the troupe has ascended the greasy pole to perform in (among other places) Bristol Beacon (formerly The Colston Hall) and The Roundhouse as well as appearing live on Radio 3’s ‘The Choir’. Singing on Windmills, White Horses, and at Stonehenge,gave them the title for their first CD ‘Monumental’ and a later visit to the Giant’s Cause wayinspired their second recording ‘Gigantic’.
