Possibly the perfect Christmas concert?

With classic Christmas songs such as “Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer”, “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”, “Santa Baby” and of course, “Jingle Bells” plus many, many more this has to be everyone’s perfect Christmas singalong! These songs played live brings an intimate and nostalgic feeling to the evening. There is even a medley of “Walking in a Winter Wonderland”, “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas” and “Let it Snow”, to bring a unique twist to these well-loved Christmas songs.

Now, although they are a tribute to Armstrong and Fitzgerald, Dave Cottle and Sarah Meek provide a very different take on the duo’s musical legacy. The evening continues with Armstrong classics such as “Hello Dolly”, “Tea for Two”. Close your eyes and many a Christmas from the past suddenly flood your senses.

The band also pay tribute to other well-known artists including Frank Sinatra, Aretha Franklin, Paul McCartney and Tony Bennett. The evening includes a surprise contribution from the Accordia Choir Cardiff, with an invite to the audience to join them on stage should they wish to join the choir.

A sparkly and distinctive performance of the best Christmas songs and the best music at the most “wonderful” time of year… all in all, perfect.
