LEAMINGTON SINGERS
Family and Friends Event - December 2024

A Hippo (aka James Blunt) was the guest star at this year’s Leamington Singers’ Christmas Concert for Family and Friends on Tuesday 17 December. An eclectic selection of songs, mostly with a Christmassy theme, was provided to give the audience a taste of what the choir members get up to on Tuesday evenings. Everyone applauded the entrance of the beautiful Hippo in her party dress, with her undeniable star qualities, though her singing abilities remain a secret!
​
The concert began with some pop and timeless songs before leading into the Christmas theme. Helen Day gave a polished performance as soloist in “Hush, be still”, a beautiful song about The Nativity, leading us into the Christmas music. The concert finished with two much-loved traditional Carols, including a delightful, unusual rendition of the rousing “Hark The Heralds Sing”. I noticed several audience members joining in, which is always a good sign. Between the songs Mike Horth, the Music Director shared some background information on the next song, together with some appropriate quiz questions, which were a novel addition to the fun.
Afterwards everyone mingled and chatted over mince pies and mulled wine which contributed to a wonderful evening, to create a great pre-Christmas atmosphere.
