CLOSE ENOUGH AT CHRISTMAS
An evening of silly songs and barbershop festive fun from an award-winning quartet.
This Christmas, Close Enough Barbershop Quartet brings you a special musical revue.
Close Enough Barbershop Quartet won Best Small Vocal Ensemble (’22, ’23 and ’24) in Buxton for their ‘witty repartee’ and ‘vocal acrobatics’.
Woody Allen (tenor), Thomas Eyre (lead), Tom Rogers (baritone) and Johnny Shipley (bass) have spent the last decade singing their brand of light-hearted and lyrical songs across the green and pleasant parts of the UK, with performances at the Big Feastival, and the Burford, Bath, Brighton and Buxton Festivals. They also toured distilleries in Islay, but they’re a bit hazy about that.
With sparkling festive numbers (from the likes of Perry Como) and some familiar favourites too (from Louis Armstrong and the Marx Brothers), this special Christmas offering promises to be a cracker!
Performers: Tom Rogers, Johnny Shipley, Edward Allen & Thomas Eyre
Running time: Approx 60 minutes
Ages Guidance: Ages 3 and above
“The fresh educated wit in the banter of the quartet is what really gives ‘Close Enough’ that additional flair as an entertainment, over and above great close harmony singing” – Buxton Fringe Award 2022
“Great entertainment delivered with musical expertise” – Buxton Fringe Award 2022
