An audience of 150 enjoyed an amazing evening with Philippa Hanna. Singing and clapping along to many of her earlier songs, we were also treated to a selection of her wonderful new songs, recently recorded in her new album due out soon. A generous amount of money was donated by the audience to our Brick Making 2025 project which will enable Kajo Keji Christian College in South Sudan to make 100,000 bricks by hand. These will be used to build new homes for refugees returning home after 7 years away in Uganda living on UN refugee camps. 

 

Our thanks to Philippa and everyone who contributed to this amazing event.

Stained Glass Stories - Phillipa Hanna

What a fantastic evening with Philippa Hanna at St Paul’s Church, Salisbury last night. The sold out audience loved singing along to Philippa’s catchy songs and listened carefully as she shared some of her struggles and joys with great honesty and vulnerability. Philippa was joined by her husband Joel on percussion – what a team! 

Rachel, one of our trustees, spoke of our work with the people of South Sudan and all proceeds for the evening will support our projects. 

A huge thank you to everyone who came along and supported us.

Jonathan Veira

This event took place in April and raised almost £1800 in aid of Projects Delivering Hope

Click here to watch a short summary video of the evening!

Projects Delivering Hope invites you to join us for a fabulous evening of live music and entertainment with renowned singer, comedian and raconteur Jonathan Veira. This amazingly talented and versatile international singer is coming to Devizes, Wiltshire as part of his ‘Unlockdown Sessions Live Tour.’ You can expect a stunning evening of music and laughter. Jonathan is essentially a musical chameleon – performing songs of great diversity to an incredibly high standard – which quite possibly makes him unique in the world of entertainment. 

The Jonathan Veira concert is part of a national tour and promises to be one of the most enjoyable evenings you will experience as we sit back and enjoy Jonathan’s unique style and amazing voice amid a whole range of musical genres and fun. With a voice like melted chocolate he sings songs from Billy Joel to gospel songs and everything in-between – nothing seems too hard for him!  Ballads, blues, rock n roll, jazz and even opera – everything sounds completely authentic and exhilarating. Accompanying himself with amazing dexterity, his glorious singing frequently moves people to tears and then they later find themselves weeping with laughter!

Date: Friday 1st April 2022

Time: 7:30pm

Venue: Devizes Corn Exchange, The Market Place, Devizes, SN10 1HS

Tickets: £10

Parking: available close by at the Market Place or Station Road car park

Light refreshments will be served during the interval

During the evening there will be a short introduction to Projects Delivering Hope and an opportunity to support our work in South Sudan. 

When the Lockdown occurred, Jonathan was obviously unable to do live concerts. Undeterred, he started an online streamed concert that still goes live nearly every Sunday evening for two hours. This highly entertaining show has become much more than ‘just a concert’. Jonathan’s wonderful singing and piano playing, cheerful chat and banter with his wife Sue, guests on Zoom or in the room have made this compulsive viewing for so many.

JV Live from the Steinway Room has kept many people connected and sane during the Lockdown period and beyond. Winning a BBC award for the show has been a well-deserved bonus. These concerts are now Jonathan doing what he does best in an Unlockdown situation!
