Charlotte Jane Kennedy and Frasier Hickland - Munch with Music December 2023

An effervescent and powerful recital in a programme that dipped into musicals, operretta, traditional and seasonal music. A treat for Christmas, or indeed any other time of the year.

My apologies for the tardiness of the video, 22 south London belfries are to blame

Treemendous

You're on light duties' I was told, which I completely misinterpreted. Instead of putting my feet up, I was required to hang lights, affix baubles and generally liaise with the expert team obviously on loan from London's west end

Actually what really happened was while the three pictured did the hard work, I stood around on 'media' duties, hung the lights wrong, moved the tree about six inches and attached about three baubles.

The result, however, speaks for itself and I hope you'll be visiting over the Christmas period to see for yourself!
