Gang show singathon

24-hour fundraiser!

Basingstoke Gang Show completed its first ever 24 hour sponsored singathon last December to raise money for their 2025 show, performed in February.

Over one hundred cast, crew and alumni from past shows to present day (1980 - 2025) came together reuniting to sing hundreds of songs over 24 hours; a true celebration of young and old Gang Show friendships with age ranges spanning eight decades.

There were plans to perform at a local shopping centre but, due to storm Darragh, it proved impossible and in true scouting style of ‘Be Prepared,’ the singathon moved to a local hall. Songs ranged from modern day classics to sea shanties and Christmas carols. There was music from the Beatles, popular songs from the musicals and songs from previous Gang Shows.

Many singers attended sessions for a few hours at a time, but seven brave adults, stuck it out for the full 24 hours!
