December 12th 2022 Concert Arrangements

Hello everyone, hope you’re well. Thank you so much to all of you who sang at Luton Airport last night. You sounded terrific and 'A Million Dreams' was the best I've ever heard it :)


I've received the following from one of the choir members:


Unfortunately at the end of the evening one of the ladies accidentally took my coat. There was only one coat left in the ‘cage’ at the end of the night which was the same style and colour as mine, but not my coat. My coat is a charcoal coloured Hobbs coat with a pair of orange leather gloves in the pocket. The coat currently in my possession is the same style and colour, but has a disposable face mask in the right pocket. I don’t have the email addresses for choir members, so wondered if it would be possible for you to include a message in your next email so we can do a coat swop.


Re next Monday 12th December, the programme will be as follows so no change:


· Winter Wonderland: 2, 08


· O Holy Night: 4,15


· Les Mis Medley: 8,34

After our programme, we are going to surprise the guests with a round of the 12 Days of Christmas with the guests. We will sing the lyrics for days 1-4 and then join in with all the days at the end. Please keep this a secret from any of the guests you might know and feel free to have the words stashed in your music folders! They are as follows:

The details we have from the venue organiser are as follows:



The location for the venue is Old Albanian Sports Club 160 Harpenden Road St Albans Herts AL3 6BB As you enter through the large metal gates, the the social club can be seen immediately to your left. Please do not park in the first small car park on the left, but continue as far as the straight road takes you (nasty speed bumps) and follow the road to the left again, going past a rugby pitch with the Club House still on your left. At the end of the rugby pitch, turn left to a much larger car parking area now ahead of you. You will clearly see the entrance to the Sports Club and you can use the stairs or the lift to get to the 1st floor.

Please can you arrive at 8.00 for a warm-up & 8.30 start. Dress is more formal for this one, so black with red accessories. Whilst the venue is being used for a private event and we must of course respect this, I am told we will have access to the bar and can use out warm-up room if you wish to have a drink after the performance. I do hope I haven't forgotten anything but if I have or you have any queries, please contact me via sufiamanya@gmail.com & NOT my magic voices email as I still don't have access to this.


See you all on Monday!
