28th March: Lunchtime Concert – Danny Shackell and Steve Hession (Vocals & Piano)

Continuing our crossover season of lunchtime concerts we reach “Swing” as the final stop on our whistle-stop tour of musical genres, when we welcome vocalist Danny Shackell, making his St John’s début, and pianist Steve Hession, who performed for us twice in our 2019 café concert season.

Danny studied at the Paul McCartney Institute (LIPA), and since graduating has had a successful career on both stage (including a stint with Michael Ball), and as a principal vocalist on luxury cruise ships. With a baby on the way, Danny has returned home, giving us the opportunity to hear him perform in the slightly less exotic setting of St John’s.

Admission is free, but we do ask those who can afford it to make a donation to help cover our costs. The suggested donation is £5.

As ever, our pop-up café offering lots of home made sweet and savoury treats as well as hot and cold drinks will be open for the hour before the concert, but for this season the church will be open throughout the day between 9am and 5pm as the St John’s Winter Support Hub continues to offer food, warmth and practical support for anyone affected by the cost of living crisis.
