Christmas concert news….

Hi all,

Epsom – 3/12 – 2 30pm

For next Wednesday’s gig they have asked us to turn up at 2 30 (they can’t get into the room before that!)

Here is the address – The Methodist Church, Ashley Road Epsom KT18 5AQ

They have said they can give us some parking spaces but need to know how many permits we require. So if you want one let me know over the next day or so…..If they can’t supply enough there are various multistorey car parks in Epsom (they suggested The Ashley Centre Car Park). They will have chairs for those that like to play sitting down but feel free to stand.

Old Malden Light Switch On -7/12 – 4 30pm

I have asked the Malden Manor people if there will be lighting in the tent – they have said it will be lit but stand lights/ some sort of extra lighting might be advisable. Beth and I have five sets of stand lights that we will bring, hopefully if a few others have some too we will be fine.

Parking wise, having looked at the map I think we will just be trying to find spaces on the surrounding streets.

They have said the performance will be between 5 and 6pm.

Wrap up warm! Bring pegs to secure your music. Fingerless gloves might not be a bad idea. If you need a chair you might need to bring your own.

The address – Plough Green, Church Lane, Worcester Park, KT4 7RD

This will be the set for the gigs –

Merry Christmas Everyone (D), Feliz Navidad (G), Jingle Bell Rock (A), Let It Snow, Fairytale of New York, Must Be Santa, Rocking Around The Christmas Tree, Santa Baby, White Christmas, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town (G), Winter Wonderland, Merry Christmas Everybody, We Wish You A Merry Christmas

If you don’t have the versions of the tunes that are in a new key don’t worry, I have spare copies and anyway we will probably share stands. They are in the ‘songbook’ on the website if you want to have a look.

Feel free to dress festively if you like (it’s not mandatory!). Any questions just give me a shout.
