SUMMARY:The Music of JAMES BOND - The Candlelight Concert
DESCRIPTION:The Music of James Bond \nFrom the moment the first chord strikes\, audiences are transported into the mysterious and thrilling world of James Bond. This incredible Chamber Orchestra brings the legendary music of James Bond to life in a way that is bold\, elegant and utterly unforgettable. \nThis is more than a concert – it is an orchestral tribute to one of cinema’s most iconic legacies. Across six decades\, the music of Bond has been defined by extraordinary voices: Dame Shirley Bassey\, whose soaring performances of “Goldfinger”\, “Diamonds Are Forever” and “Moonraker” set the gold standard; Adele\, whose Oscar-winning “Skyfall” became an instant classic; Sam Smith’s haunting “Writing’s On the Wall”; and Billie Eilish’s powerful and poignant “No Time To Die”. These songs – and the artists behind them – have given Bond its unmistakable sound. \nPerformed by world-class musicians and vocalists\, every note echoes the sophistication of the James Bond universe. The sound of sweeping strings and bold brass stirs images of high-speed car chases\, exotic escapes and unforgettable encounters. The sultry tones of the singers evoke Bond’s timeless glamour. \nThis is a night where music and cinema intertwine\, where audiences don’t just listen to – they feel it\, they live it. \nThe Great British Film Orchestra is dedicated to celebrating the soundtracks that have defined the golden age of cinema and beyond. With each performance\, we honour the artistry of composers and storytellers who have given us moments that transcend the screen. \nSo\, don your finest attire\, raise a glass and prepare for an evening of breathtaking music and the unmistakable thrill of James Bond. \nDisclaimer: This concert is an independent tribute production. It is not affiliated with\, sponsored by\, or endorsed by any rights holders of the James Bond franchise. Titles are used solely to describe the musical programme to audiences. \nDisclaimer  \nPlease be advised that this orchestral performance will include the use of bright flashing lights and Portman lighting effects. These may involve intense flashes\, rapid light changes\, and bright visual effects\, which may be synchronised with the music. \nIn addition\, there may be moments of heightened volume and dynamic contrast typical of a live orchestra. \nThese elements may not be suitable for individuals with photosensitive epilepsy\, sensory sensitivities\, or those sensitive to loud sound levels. Viewer discretion is advised. \nSHOW ONE: Doors 6.00pm | Show 6.45pm – 8.00pm\nSHOW TWO: Doors 8.30pm | Show 9.15pm – 10.30pm\nLicensed bar & Coffee and Cake bar

SUMMARY:STEELEYE SPAN
DESCRIPTION:The last time Steeleye played Shrewsbury was in 2022 but they have never played the Abbey. Shrewsbury Abbey is just the perfect venue to visit on their current tour – a unique and iconic group performing in a unique and historic place. Do not delay booking your seats! \nBe in no doubt\, this is the real Steeleye Span with Maddy Prior\, not a tribute! \nDoors: 18:30 \nShow: 19:30 \nLicensed bar & Coffee bar \nFREE PARKING AFTER 6PM ON ABBEY FOREGATE CAR PARK – https://next.shropshire.gov.uk/parking/find-my-nearest-car-park/shrewsbury-abbey-foregate/ \nTogether for 56 years now\, Steeleye Span changed the face of folk music forever by taking it into the world of gold discs and international tours. Now they return with Conflict\, their first full studio album in over five years. All traditional singers have sung modern and self-composed pieces alongside old songs\, Conflict is an album that follows in that very tradition. The album’s title was chosen as much to reflect the times we find ourselves in\, but also the stretch and tear of our relationship with this planet that hosts us. \nThe band will undertake a full UK tour in support\, their first live dates of the year. As ever – and with such a rich history to choose from – the night will offer a selection of songs from across the years and firm fan favourites \n(c) Steeleye Span \nhttps://www.shrewsburyabbey.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Steeleye-Span-tour-trailer-.mp4\n  \nCopyright © Steeleye Span.

SUMMARY:SHREWSBURY ABBEY - THE CATHEDRAL THAT NEVER WAS
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nWE HAVE HAD A HUGE DEMAND FOR TICKETS AND ARE UP TO CAPACITY. WE CANNOT GUARANTEE SEATS FOR ANYONE WHO IS NOT PRE-BOOKED BY 6PM ON MONDAY 2ND MARCH. WE APOLOGISE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE.\nIn 1926\, a hundred years ago to the day\, if not the minute\, a vote to create an Anglican Diocese of Shrewsbury\, with Shrewsbury Abbey becoming its cathedral\, was defeated by a single vote in the House of Lords. It was alone amongst the six new dioceses proposed in the 1920’s not to come to fruition. \nHistorical expert The Rev Canon Dr William Price\, Anglican priest and sometime Lecturer in Church History at the University of Wales\, Lampeter\, will give an illustrated talk focussing on the various attempts to create an Anglican Diocese of Shrewsbury\, dating back to Henry VIII himself at the Reformation\, this attempt in 1926 and again as recently as 1988. \nThe talk promises to be fascinating for anyone interested in church or social history in Shropshire\, across the Dioceses of Lichfield and Hereford\, and for miles around. \nThe evening in the Abbey will begin with wine and nibbles on arrival from 6.30pm. William’s talk will follow at 7pm. His presentation will be shown on a large screen and amplified through the sound system/loop. \nPlease click on the ticket link on the bottom left of this page.

SUMMARY:POEMS & READINGS FOR HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL DAY
DESCRIPTION:A recital of poems from the Holocaust and other genocides.\nOn Holocaust Memorial Day we remember the victims of the Nazi regime from 1933 to 1945\, when 6 million Jews were systematically murdered\, as were thousands of disabled people\, Roma people\, gay men\, political opponents of the Nazis\, and many others. \nMany Holocaust victims were never able to tell their stories\, and we will also hear poems from the next generation\, who speak in their names. \nWe remember that genocide did not stop in 1945\, and so we also recall more recent events in Rwanda\, Darfur\, and elsewhere. \nBy listening to these poems\, we can make sure that the voices of those who speak out against genocide are not silenced.
