Music

Are you missing singing together at the moment and being part of shows at Shaftesbury Arts Centre? Well – we would love to invite you to take part in our Singing Fiesta for some fun, enjoyment and silliness!

All you need to do is to record yourself (with video) singing your favourite musical number from a show, or a section of your favourite song from a musical.

You can record yourself on any device that supports it, such as your mobile phone, iPad or laptop.

You can be any age to take part, it can be any song that you like (no longer than 3 minutes), it can be with music or without music but the most important thing is to have some fun and just enjoy singing your heart out!

You need to send us your recorded song by Sunday 14th June at the latest. Go on – we can’t wait to hear you sing your heart out!’

Send your singing video to singingfiesta@shaftesburyartscentre.org.uk , including the following information

• Your name
• Your age
• Where you are from
• What song you are singing

We will be showcasing everyone who sends us a song on our Website and on our Facebook page in the two weeks after Sunday 14th June.

As a pointer, there are several places where you can download backing tracks, should you wish to do so. Not all are free, but here are just 3 examples that you might like to take a look at –

Four voices that defined a decade: Dusty Springfield, Cilla Black, Lulu and Petula Clark.

Between them they had many of the very greatest songs of the 60s. I’m sure you you remember … Downtown … This Is My Song … If You Go Away … Shout … Love Loves To Love Love … Alfie … Anyone Who Had A Heart … You’re My World … You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me.

You will hear these and many, many more of your favourites, all authentically performed by Samantha and her band.

The Stage newspaper said of Samantha “Perfection. Her vocal range is remarkable.”

Through the magic of theatre, ‘Dusty, Cilla, Lulu & Pet’ will transport you to a TV studio for a typical 1960s music show. And don’t worry, although there were only two television channels and much of the output was still in black-and-white, this show is full of colour!

The best songs, from the best singers … all in one amazing feel-good show.

Tickets £17.50, Members £15.
