Just Sing were overwhelmed to entertain a sold-out audience on Saturday 6th of December. Our musical director, Susan Marrs, put together a challenging programme of traditional carols, nostalgic contemporary arrangements and a festive boogie-woogie finale.
Our regular accompanist, Alison Moss, performed the instrumental interludes and our guest, Caitlin Day, stole the show, with two atmospheric solos.
Audience reaction was very positive and we are enormously grateful for their generous support for St Luke’s Hospice, who will benefit from ticket and raffle sales.
