Village Concert

Yes the New York hat has been getting another airing! this time at the village Conservation Group Carol Concert! It was little sad that only 35 people turned up to hear the 14 strong choir belt out a comprehensive repertoire of carols and traditional country songs, but those that did make the effort seemed to enjoy the professional singing from Rhyl's Phoenix Singers
The conductor, Jefferson Thomas, has been suffering from Parkinson's for many years, yet he proved to be an physically erratic but passionate master of ceremonies, even when faced by such a meagre audience.
I was full of cold, but was sustained by a small flask of boiling water, lemsip and brandy! in equal measures! and we actually won a "Christmas hamper" in the raffle!!! (when are baked beans, tinned potatoes and cup-a-soup deemed Xmas fodder?)
