Welcome to
'End of the Track'
Summary of the Group
Based in North Wiltshire, End Of The Track perform songs from the 1960s era to raise funds for local charities. They charge no standard fee, and simply ask for a donation to their chosen charity for any performance. The group has been singing together for over fourteen years, with a wide repertoire of songs. The link below takes you to a video recorded after a performance at the Goatacre Manor Care Home where you will hear Keith Clifford describing the aims of the group.

Supported Charity
The group continues to raise funds for donation to the Julia's House children's hospice in Devizes.
A cheque for £2,000.00 was handed over to the charity in January 2023 representing the funds raised from performances in the previous six months.
The photograph below shows the cheque presentation made during our previous visit to the hospice on 8th June 2022. The charity's Chief Executive Martin Edwards is shown receiving the cheque. The presentation took place during the group's visit to perform at a tea party that had been organised for the charity's fundraising volunteers.
The group has now donated over £13,000 to the charity since 2019.
Our first donation was made at the hospice on 22nd August 2019 (pre-pandemic) by seven members of the group - the photograph below was taken in the grounds of the hospice and shows Community Fundraiser Claudia Hickin receiving the cheque on behalf of the charity.

We are extremely proud to announce we have helped to raise a fantastic total of £32,000 for various charities over the last 13 years. All of this money has gone to charities within our county of Wiltshire.
Joint Concert with the Corsham & Colerne Military Wives Choir
We are extremely pleased to announce this joint concert that will take place on Saturday 24th June 2023 in St Andrews Church, Chippenham. The concert will raise funds for the Julia's House charity and the Wiltshire Bobby Van Trust. More details of the concert will be released nearer the date.
Performance at Julia's House Tea Party (8th June 2022)
On Wednesday 8th June 2022 the group were asked to provide some musical entertainment for an audience of volunteers who raise funds for Julia's House. We were very pleased to be invited to the occasion and we sang for about 45 minutes whilst sandwiches and cake were devoured by the guests. The above photograph was taken by one of the JH helpers Jo Common.
Joint Concert with The Harmonics (26th April 2019)
On Friday 26th April 2019 the group performed alongside the local ladies singing group 'The Harmonics' at St Nicholas Church, Chippenham to raise funds for the church. The packed audience were treated to a programme of songs covering the last fifty years, and it was a delight for us to share the evening with singers who enjoy their music as much as these ladies clearly do.
