Our Christmas Concert this year, at High Cross Church in Camberley on 19th December, was a "sell-out" with a capacity audience of over 200 including Mayor of Surrey Heath, Cllr Sarbie Kang and many other honoured guests.

The packed church was treated to a wonderful, seasonal selection of songs with the choir singing "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas", "Ding Dong Merrily On High", and "The Christmas Song" in their programme and guest soprano, Laura Sillett, performing eight Christmas numbers from stage and screen including well-loved traditional hits such as "White Christmas"  through to a comic number, "Don't Talk About Christmas", that was specially written for Laura.

The choir also included non-seasonal favourites, "Speed Your Journey", "On The Street Where You Live", "Bring Him Home", "76 Trombones", Londonderry Air", "What Would I Do Without My Music?", and "Wellerman" in their programme. "My Lord What A Mornin'" featured as the "choral hug" number (sung around the audience) that has now become a regular feature of our concerts.

The audience got to join in with a Christmas medley (Snow Business) while the choir tried to hide various Father Christmas paraphenalia from the stern gaze of Music Director, Phillip Viveash-Brainch. As the concert was in support of the Parity For Disability charity, choir member and previous service user of the charity, Matthew James, provided a solo rendition of "Stars" from Les Miserables and the whole concert culminated with a performance of "O Holy Night" with Laura Sillett taking the solo.
