Sunday 27th November - Guiseley Christmas lights switch on

What a great turn out for this event, so many ladies from our Cookridge and Harrogate choirs joined in the fun here. One of our best performances according to our Choir Director, Lauren Elliott.  Lots of stalls, fair rides and large crowds made for a lovely afternoon. Singing on the back of a large lorry was a new experience alongside the King himself Mr Elvis Presley (well a tribute Elvis act).

Wednesday 30th November - Headingley Christmas lights switch on

Such a special event as ladies from all 6 of our choirs joined together for this gig which came our way quite last minute. Singing next to the main road in Headingley was slightly challenging as ambulance sirens joined in with the chorus of Fairytale of New York, yet somehow we pulled off yet another excellent performance for the shoppers of Headingley.  You ladies were superstars!

Friday 2nd December - Yorkshire cancer research stall, Harrogate

Singing on the first day of the Harrogate Christmas Fayre was very festive for our Harrogate ladies . The town centre was decked out ready for Christmas with fair rides, a Christmas market, Santa, the Mayor and even a Pantomime Dame joining in the fun. Our Harrogate ladies choir were singing to support a stall run by Yorkshire Cancer Research, such a worthy cause. There was a movie star feeling to the whole event as local newspaper, the Stray Ferret, was there taking what seemed like hundreds of photos with large flash bulb stands going off every few seconds. We obviously wowed the Paparazzi as we made it into both their photo and video sections of the news that day.

Saturday 3rd December - Ashland's school Christmas fair, Ilkley

A traditional and busy school Christmas fair was the next event for our Ilkley ladies choir. Opening the fair to Rockin' around the Christmas Tree our ladies got the event off to a flying festive start before singing in the arrival of the main man himself, Santa Claus! . Delicious aromas of mulled wine and hot chocolate filled the air as excited children visited Santa's grotto and families tried their luck at the different games and stalls.
