We ‘Stepped into Christmas’ with a first half programme of our standard choral favourites. Interval mince pies and plenty of good cheer then set the scene for a second half programme of Christmas conviviality! This included such cherished favourites as Silent Night, Jingle Bells and De Virgin Mary and the first performance of a new arrangement of The Angel Gabriel by Michael Higgins. Audience carols were sprinkled throughout starting with Once in Royal’s magical solo (thank you little Emily) and ending with a roof raising Hark the Herald.
