Lip Sync Evening – Saturday 18th January – Memorial Hall – 7:00pm for 7:30pm Start – Pay Bar available
Whether you have a voice like a young Shirley Bassey or an old Massey Ferguson, it doesn’t really matter.
Allsopp, Gilsenan & Mitchel Productions are looking for 12-15 acts to Lip-Sync to their favourite tracks. No singing
required but appropriate dress and miming very much part of the performance (remember Top of the Pops).
Reserve your performance slot now via welly.lip.sync@gmail.com or ring the dedicated phoneline on 07514
483066. Then all you have to do is practice dressing up, miming and generally strutting your stuff.
There will be awards (but no recording contracts) for the best under 18 performance, the best female solo artist,
the best male solo artist & the best group, decided by audience vote. Tickets will be £8 per person for audience
members, £4 for under 16s & free for performers. The event will be advertised widely from 1st December when
tickets for the nonperforming audience go on sale. Proceeds in aid of Christ Church
