This Christmas concert looks such fun and ever so sweet- just the thing to get you into the Christmas spirit and give you that glowing all over feeling that all is bright and right with the world tonight. You know what I mean!

I must admit I had never heard of Sufjan Stevens but I looked him up on you tube and he seemed talented and I like to try new things so I've booked my ticket and I am looking forward to it! Life is to be enjoyed- especially in the festive season!!! One of our group members is also performing in this show. Fab.

So come and join me for a festive night of frolics and fun with music and singing too- and I hear there will also be pass the parcel! What more can one ask for? We can meet in the bar in the Queens hall when it opens at 6.30pm for a festive chat/drink before the show starts at 7.30pm.

About the Concert
A joyous festive celebration for all ages bringing together guest singers, eclectic band and a community choir in an evening to warm the soul.
Please note: This is a celebration of Stevens' music and not a performance by him.

Matchless independent artist Sufjan Stevens has written, arranged and released 10 EPs of Christmas songs and made them available for others to play.

From the beautiful 'Sister Winter' via the epic 'Christmas Unicorn' to the ridiculous 'Come On! Let's Boogey to the Elf Dance', Stevens has written a Christmas song for everyone., featuring his trademark lush flurries of woodwind and synths, asymmetric time signatures, intimate truthful whispers and warm-hearted festive confessionals.

An array of soloists, an instrumental ensemble and community choir come together in this epic evening of communal celebration, including instant songwriting, pass the parcel and an audience singalong.
Musical magician Hugh Nankivell (National Theatre of Scotland, Opera North, Natural Causes) brings together multi-instrumentalist friends Dean Brodrick (Nick Mulvey and the GoBetweens, Massukos, Empty Boat, directing the charity Shirikiana), and Ben McCabe (Paddy Garrigan and the Stroller Priests, Natural Causes, Deep Cabaret), for this festive treat.
