Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Our third year of community Christmas concerts with Christopher Bell and the Ulster Orchestra.

                   (How do you know Christopher Bell is in town? Look at his amazing feet!)

This concert is an opportunity for us to sing more lighthearted music and have a bit of fun in the concert, and we are positively encouraged to go Fancy Dress..

The first half is Christmassy but relatively sedate..and the ladies are asked to wear coloured blouses in lieu of the usual black.

The first year - second half saw the Phil with a bit of additional sparkle and a few 'sexy santas'


The second year - second half saw some major effort, with pantomime dames, rows of elves, trees, inflatable snowman, puddings, presents, lots of 'sexy santas' and Elvis (elves welcome, said the instructions!). Oh, and a pantomime horse!!

(Tom, I think, who described himself as 'Rather Fetching') 

Year three - some members who had not sung in the Christmas concert before asked for tips on fancy dress. My best advice, "You cannot be overdressed. If you don't go OTT you will feel like the odd one out.."

                       



(no wires.. that halo is obviously real.)



Out came flashing lights, Statue of Liberty, snow queen, even more 'sexy santas' (a proven popular choice) Rudolph, angels and fairies. And the ladies dressed up too.

Ho ho Hosanna in excelsis..
