The RNLI Lifeboat Concert 2025 – The Magnificent AKs

April 25 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm

The Magnificent AKs are proud to support the RNLI.

They are the singing blokes of Ashton Keynes, a tranquil corner of North Wiltshire nestled between the nascent river Thames and the Cotswold Water Park. Maybe it’s the soggy conditions, or something to do with gravel, but nobody knows the exact reason why, in 2008 the men of the village started to sing. They sang about sheds. And duct tape. And beer. In fact, they sang about everything that was important to them, occasionally donning a jaunty hat.

From such humble beginnings the troupe has ascended the greasy pole to perform in (among other places) Bristol Beacon (formerly The Colston Hall) and The Roundhouse. They’ve appeared live on Radio 3’s ‘The Choir’ and sung on Windmills, White Horses, and at Stonehenge, giving them the title for their first CD ‘Monumental’. Two tours to Ireland later (both times picking up awards at prestigious choral festivals) a visit to the Giant’s Causeway gave them the inspiration for their second recording ‘Gigantic’.

Expect rich Georgian-inspired polyphony alongside a tuneful celebration of the 21st Century bloke.

“Some of the most exciting singing in the UK. These guys will make your underpants shake!”
Matthew Swann – Artistic Director Voices Now

Doors open and licensed bar from 7pm. The performance starts at 7.30pm.

Gift Aid Declaration


Thank you so much for donating to St Peter’s and St Paul’s Marlborough Trust. Your support is helping us to raise vital funds in order to preserve this building of significant historic interest and to provide a centre for the community to explore its history and enjoy its space.

If you sign up to Gift Aid, a tax relief allowing UK charities to reclaim an extra 25% in tax on every eligible donation made by a UK taxpayer, it means that without donating a penny extra, you're helping us keep St Peter's Church open for years to come.

There are a couple of reasons that may affect our ability to reclaim that extra money, so please contact us within 21 days if:
You expect to pay less than your Gift Aid value, in UK income and/or Capital Gains Tax in the current year, or your personal details, such as name and address have changed.

If you have not paid enough tax to meet the Gift Aid claimed by St Peter’s and St Paul’s Marlborough Trust and have not notified us of this, HMRC may seek to recover this sum from you directly, as it is your responsibility to pay any difference. You can get in touch with us on contact@stpetersmarlborough.org.uk if you have any questions.
