Event information

What! A LIVE event in Billericay! Wahey!

Now that the government has given permission for socially distanced outdoor events to take place, you are invited to a bring a picnic to the Rectory Garden, Billericay on Sunday 23 August 2020 at 16.00 hrs (Doors at 15.00 pm) where singer/songwriter Rob Halligan will be performing his concept album, and book of the same name ‘Psalm’ followed by a selection of his 'Greatest Hits!" You never know, he might be open to requests too!

The event is FREE but donations will be received for Global Care - a charity very close to Rob's heart.

Rob is no stranger to Billericay and this is sure to be a popular event – especially with limited numbers in place - around 50. 

Rob writes about Psalm:

"It’s an exploration of honesty in worship and includes and songs inspired by various Psalms and include celebration, lament, worship and thanksgiving."

You can read a 10/10 review of ‘Psalm’ on the Cross Rhythms website here

Numbers are limited to comply with COVID-19 guidelines and everyone will be expected to social distance at 2.0 m. It also means that people will be expected to fill up from the back, and directed where to sit.  

This is the best way to ensure everyone keeps their distance. It is up to individuals to choose whether or not to wear a mask.

PLEASE DO NOT ATTEND IF YOU ARE SHOWING ANY COVID-19 SYMPTOMS.

About Rob Halligan

Rob is well known for using his music to raise awareness of small charities, working with some of the most vulnerable people, both at home and abroad, raising well over £30K in the process and this house gig is a charity fund-raising event.  All proceeds from this evening will be going, at Rob’s request, to Global Care and their Children at Risk project.

A professional musician for over 10 years, Coventry based Rob is an award winning singer/songwriter and has toured across the world, gaining a reputation as a passionate and engaging performer. Rob’s songs draw from his own experiences of life on the streets, of losing his father in the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and of the people he’s met on his journey. His songs challenge politics, complacency and faith and are delivered with brutal honesty, rough spirituality and tested to be true.

Rob has released seven albums and has made his mark on the unsigned music scene as an award-winning singer/songwriter. The BBC once described Rob as: "Bruce Springsteen having English tea with Billy Bragg!"

It’s a good comparison, however, I think Rob has more than a few shades of Jack Savoretti meets Ricky Ross!  No pressure Rob!
