APRIL 2024
BBC Radio One Royalty is coming to Shipston! DJ Dance Legend Dave Pearce creator and host of Radio One’s Dance anthems will be headlining our Ibiza on Stour set at the Hub this summer. Flying in from the White Isle itself, Dave will be playing all the top dance tracks and more on Friday June 28th.
Dave has DJ’d at major festivals and clubbing destinations across the world including London, Ibiza, Athens, Dubai, and Doha. He has played all the major UK Dance Festivals including Creamfields, Gatecrasher Summer Soundsystem, Godskitchen Global Gathering, and Coloursfest and numerous UK Music Festivals including Knebworth Cool Britannia and Manchester Pride. Together with club favourites DJ’s Tim Samsara and Dirty Harry, this is an evening not to be missed and tickets are already selling fast on Eventbrite.
There is also an opportunity for a budding DJ to play alongside Dave Pearce and there will be a DJ competition on May 11th. Details to follow on our Proms Facebook page.
Another world class act appearing at the Proms are renowned opera singers Anna Patalong and Ben Nelson who are returning for another opera night at the Townsend Hall. Last year, they enchanted their audience with their stunning vocal range both at the Proms and at our December fundraiser.
Another great singer to welcome back is Betsy Harmony at the Warm Hub. She has a huge repertoire of songs from Frank Sinatra to Adele and is very happy to take requests from the audience.
It is brilliant to see venues engaging again in The Café and Pub Trail on 29th June and it looks like we will have another busy Saturday night of music spilling out into the Shipston streets.
Away from the music, we are on the lookout for people who would like to help with collecting recyclable goods on the last night. If you can help, please go to our Join the Committee website page or social media page to volunteer. We are hoping to become greener with our waste over the next few years and this will be a start.

Wired at Shipston Proms 2016
We are so excited to announce that this years headline act on the Last Night of the Shipston Proms will be the brilliant Wired: The function band!
These guys stormed the stage when they played as the headline act on the last night a few years ago and have gone from strength to strength since. We cannot wait to watch them smash this gig out of the park and finish our 2024 Proms fortnight with a bang!
A huge thank you to all who have donated so far on our GoFundMe page. So far, we have raised over £355.00 to help with our costs and please look on Shipston Proms GoFundMe page if you would like to contribute.
Shipston Proms
Shipston based Opera singers Anna Patalong & Ben Nelson
The Shipston Proms is organised by a committee who aim to bring the community a varied and exciting programme of music over the fortnight. The committee meet once a month, usually on the third Wednesday at 7.00pm at the George Townhouse. The Proms also have a group of volunteers that assist during the Proms fortnight – helping with manning events, shaking buckets, selling raffle tickets and, on the Final Night, setting up the Square and ensuring it is returned the same way (or better!) than the Proms found it.
The Proms wouldn’t happen without the committee and the volunteers.
If you would like to join the Committee or help out as a volunteer, please contact us either through Facebook or by email – shipstonproms@gmail.com
You can also help by being a Sponsor or Friend of the Proms. Details on the relevant pages!
If you have any further feedback or suggestions for future years, please keep them coming via our Facebook Page, Twitter feed or email to shipstonproms@gmail.com
