After the raffles were drawn by Santa (Dave Winslade) and a sumptuous afternoon tea (Thank You committee) was had we were priviledged to have Joe Fingers (keyboard, clavinova), his wife Jill (vocals) and Murray Merssen (clarinet, saxophone) entertain us.

This versatile trio really got us into the Christmas mood with a variety of different styles from 'The Entry of The Queen of Sheba' to old favourites 'All of Me' (Jill), 'Silver Bells', 'Sail Along Silvery Moon' (Murray, Joe), 'O Holy Night' (Jill), 'Stranger On The Shore' (Murray), '12th Street Rag', 'Snoopys Christmas', 'Feliz Navidad' (Please Love Your Dad) with jokes interspersed by Joe. Some Malaysian, Irish and Dixieland tunes for all tastes. Thank you, we can't wait to hear you again.
A lovely ending to our musical year everyone!
'MERRY CHRISTMAS' to you all.
Back again in February!
