Sydney Devine: Video Memorial Performance – Rescheduled

Rescheduled Show

Dear all,

This is not a decision that we have taken lightly but due to the organised protest arranged for Saturday 6^th November by The COP26 Coalition, where potentially there will be an estimated 175,000 protesters (or more) against Climate Change hitting the streets of Glasgow, what we are suggesting is that for everyone’s safety, is that we postpone this week’s memorial show for Sydney Devine and reschedule for next Saturday, 13^th November at 2pm, when the protestors will all be away home and COP26 will be over.

As a I sure you are aware the list of street closures is extensive and will lead to serious congestion within the city centre www.getreadyglasgow.com/cop26/traffic-and-travel and today on Sauchiehall Street, there were a few hundred protesters which totally closed off the area around the theatre and was seriously congested for over an hour. Clearly this is not ideal and this week was important as a memorial for Sydney’s annual visit to the theatre, but we have to think of the potential safety for everyone and it is clear after speaking to Police Scotland and Council Officers that they are expecting severe disruption and potential violence at this rally.

We hope that you appreciate the reasons behind this postponement but feel that we must act in a responsible manner for everyone’s health and safety.   

Original tickets will still be valid for next week’s date and you will retain the same seating so please keep your tickets and use these on Saturday 13^th November. However, if you are unable to attend, please contact the box office on 0141 332 1846 and we will issue a full refund.

We apologise for any inconvenience and disappointed that this may cause but hope that you will be able to join us next Saturday to remember Sydney.

Yours sincerely,

Pavilion Theatre (Glasgow) Limited

As we know, we are coming to the time where annually Pavilion favourite Sydney Devine returned to entertain us all.

This year is going to be a sad time for us all and in view of this we are holding “The Devine Shrine” as a tribute to Sydney and his time at the Pavilion and hope that fans will flock to the theatre for this short video performance In a way of remembrance and  thanking Sydney for entertaining us during the years.

This short video production of approx. 55 minutes will be a footage of songs throughout his long established career. There will be Laughter, Tears and Sing-a-Long Songs that will remind you of our happy days together with Scotland’s Favourite performer.

This will be a ticketless performance and can be booked online only.

Due to COVID restrictions, we ask at this time to refrain from bringing flowers and other memorabilia / gifts to the theatre as it is difficult to remove these after the event.

We do intend to produce a full tribute show to Sydney next March as we felt that this would be a better time for people to return the theatre.
