Christmas 2009 part one

Jingle Bells Take One

Xmas for the band started early....in November, with carols for the Switch on of the Xmas Tree lights in Moulton, a village near Northwich. As dusk fell the band got colder and it got harder and harder to read the music...

Peter T generously lent his spare pair of gloves to one of those less prepared for the festive season and those who'd brought headlamps were the envy of the rest of the band. Just to add to that, JohnD casually dropped into the conversation that it was 79 deg F in Melbourne where he'd soon be soaking up the sun.

Then it was time to dust off the Santa hats and jingle bells and slip seamlessly into a regular pattern of performing at theTrafford Centre and Lyme Park, raising money to support the band's running costs and also for the band's chosen charity of North West Air Ambulance.
