Gig - Ashridge House Illuminated Carols

OVERVIEW 

This is a nice informal bit of outdoor carol singing to raise money for The Hospice of St Francis. We'll be singing two set of music. You're very welcome to do both, but if you'd prefer to do only one or the other that's fine too.

TIMINGS

5.30pm Performance One (30ish mins)

6.00pm Rest break!

6.20pm Performance Two (30ish mins)

Afterwards you can head home, or wander around the illuminations for FREE!

PARKING / ARRIVAL

There'll be lots of free parking at the front of Ashridge House. We’re performing not far inside the main arch as you enter. Just follow the crowds and I’m sure you’ll find us! No soundcheck so just arrive a few minutes before performances.

DRESS CODE Wrap up warm as we’re outside!! Christmassy always nice, but no stress!

CHOIR LIST 44 (Capacity is technically 40 but hey!)

This day was over subscribed for Sopranos and Mezzos so it's been a tough task figuring this out fairly!! I've slightly based it on how many other gigs you're signed up for. For those people doing fewer gigs I've tried to get you into this, keeping Champneys and St Mary's in mind especially. If you didn't make it onto the list for either of them then I've hopefully made sure you're included for this one!!

If you are one of the people on the waitlist we have spaces on Sunday 21st December (for Sopranos especially), so let me know if you'd like to sing at that. Or if you hold tight I might be able to add you to this date if someone drops out.
