Ex-Student Dan Returns to BGU as Gary Barlow
Former Bishop Grosseteste University student Dan Hadfield will be back on campus on Saturday (1st October) to perform as Take That star Gary Barlow.
Dan, who performs as the singer as well as acting as Gary’s official lookalike, will be singing some of Gary’s best known hits at 7.30pm in The Venue.
Having performed alongside Gary Barlow and appeared on the X Factor, Dan is known as the number one Gary Barlow tribute act and performs his solo show across the country as well as abroad.
He has appeared on the BBC comedy Miranda and last year amazed guests at a wedding in Cheshire by performing with Gary to the bride and groom!
Dan worked in higher education for a while at both BGU and the University of Lincoln, but had a change of heart when he decided to turn his hobby into a full-time career.
“It will be wonderful to see Dan back on campus performing all those Gary Barlow and Take That hits live,” said Hannah Clipsham, Events Manager at BGU. “We’re very proud of his achievements as a graduate of BGU and we’re sure this concert will be a special night for everyone.”
The new Refectory at BGU will be offering a pre-show curry – to book a table email refectory@bishopg.ac.uk or call 01522 583795.
Tickets to the concert cost £15 – to book visit www.thevenuelincoln.co.uk, call 01522 585635 or email daisy.wedge@bishopg.ac.uk.
