Basingstoke UK
Destination Basingstoke for Dutch singer from the US
She is beautiful. She is a singer. She is hugely popular. She is from Holland. She currently works in the US. She has a new CD on sale now. And she is on her way to Basingstoke.
Dutch singer Shannah has really found her mission by performing, writing, and singing having worked with several rock’n’roll, 60’s music and country bands since she was 17 years old but a passion for country music has brought out her song writing skills to great effect.
Shannah has appeared in a number of DVD recordings, major shows, radio/magazine interviews and now her new CD "Don't Move” from which she is hoping that "Mi Destino" will be released as a single later this year. In the meantime, this popular singer will appear on the stage of The Academy in Worting Road, Basingstoke on Saturday 24th November when she makes a special guest appearance.
Shannah’s website is a huge hit on the worldwide web and can be viewed at Shawn Harvey from the US and blind Christian singer Tony Frost from the UK are also making guest appearances.
This spectacular show is a fundraiser for The Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation, the only charity in the UK dedicated to defeating lung cancer which is surprising considering that lung cancer is the biggest cancer killer of both men and women. Despite this, they receive neither government nor lottery funding for their research and, therefore, rely very much on the goodwill and support of the public, including support from events such as this special event.
The Academy Basingstoke, on the Moniton Trading Estate in Worting Road, is the area’s only 24 hours, 7 days a week, Snooker, Pool and Nine Ball centre and live music venue. The doors open at 8pm and goes on til late with live DJ entertainment from special guest DJ and MC, Lee Williams. Admission is a £5 donation to the charity. Further details are available on the Academy website (http://www.academyclubs.com/).
