Phil Cunningham's Christmas Songbook 2017

Taken from the balcony of Glasgow Royal Concert Hall on my phone. Not a great image, but a reminder to me of an excellent night out. Fantastic music, traditional and modern. Carols, Festive songs, and lots of tunes. We were all issued with a song sheet, and encouraged to join in.

A very relaxed event. Couches and Cava on stage, queries such as "How does this one start?", or "Remind me what key this is in?". Highlight for me was Karen singing "O Come, O Come Immanuel".

Some of our finest musicians:-
Phil Cunningham
Eddi Reader
Karen Matheson
John McCusker
Kris Drever
Ian Carr
Kevin McGuire
Excellent brass quintet

If that was a warm up for Celtic Connections, we have a treat ahead in January.
