Davenham member Denise Barry who has organized this concert says
We've known Chris's father for many years. Chris is from Lancashire and we saw his concert in a packed hall in Lancashire a few months ago. I thought our audiences would love his type of music so I was excited when I managed to secure a booking for 15th November.
Chris has been a professional singer for many years and has performed many times in Nashville with John Denver's lead guitarist. He has a wonderful voice and his performances are both captivating and memorable.
After speaking to our audience members I was surprised at just how many people are fans of John Denver's music, therefore I urge you to book early to avoid disappointment.

Neil McSweeney is a songwriter and musician based in Sheffield, England. His acoustic guitar playing style combines folk, blues and country influences but it is his voice, likened by The Guardian to a male Tracy Chapman, and his direct and personal lyrics for which he is most recognised. His first album, Remember To Smile, was released in 2006. After a warm response from national press and radio, London-based Warner subsidiary Kids got involved for a couple of singles. Neil decided once more to self-release for his second album, Shoreline (2009), which again garnered strong reviews and caught the attention of Richard Hawley, leading to support slots in the UK and Europe.
Neil's third album 'Cargo' is recorded by leading trad-folk producer Andy Bell, and features the talents of BBC Folk Musician of the Year nominee 2013, Sam Sweeney, Lucy Farrell, M.G. Boulter, Brooks Williams, Andy Seward and many more.
“Deeply felt, brooding songs rich in imagery. He has the tools to make a huge impact.” **** The Guardian
“McSweeney is the genuine article. Highly recommended.” **** Daily Express
“Steelier than your average troubadour.’ Q Magazine
“Songs so subtle and well-crafted that you can’t help but be drawn in…they deserve much wider acclaim.”DrownedInSound.com

"A Cream Cracker under the Settee" by Alan Bennett
- with Margaret Smith as Doris, aged over 80, who is a tidy woman — and when she suffers a fall after trying to clear up after her considerably less thorough home help, Zulema, she contemplates her life. Alone and injured, she wonders whether the only place left for her in society is a care home which she distrusts.
"A Lady of Letters" by Alan Bennett
- with Vanessa Duffy as Miss Ruddock. Irene Ruddock is a working class single woman who is not afraid to speak, or rather write, her mind: she writes letters to her MP, the police, the chemist – everyone she can, to remedy the social ills she sees around her. After one too many accusations of misconduct from Irene's pen, she finds herself on the wrong side of the law and in a new but entirely liberating environment.
"Effie's Burning" by Valerie Windsor
- with Sue Elliott as Dr Kovacs & Angela Orme as "Effie". A local hospital ward provided the location in 1987, where Effie a disoriented woman in her sixties, is being treated for burns suffered during a fire at her nursing home. She appears highly concerned for her life-time friend - Alice. It quickly becomes clear that her child-like quality and reluctance to interact with the nursing staff stems from the fact the she has lived most of her life with Alice in a mental institution. But why was she there? This short play examines the callous brutality of bureaucracy and families when children do not turn out as they wanted.
