For the past few years a few members of Caldicot Male Voice Choir have performed a pantomime as a contribution to the annual Christmas party.
And this year nine members of the ensemble provided an evening of entertainment opening with a round of audience participation of Christmas carols accompanied by Shirley Anne James.
The Choir Ensemble, accompanied by Shirley Anne James and hosted by chorister Grahame Morton, continued the party with songs from the Rogers and Hammerstein musical South Pacific including a hilarious rendition of ‘I’m Gonna Wash that Man Right Outta my Hair’ and a magnificent solo of ‘Some Enchanted Evening’ by bass chorister Stuart Parry.
The evening was supported by the U3A ukulele band and guest ladies choir Serenata accompanied by Olivia Dance.
The ensemble finished with songs from Oklahoma.
Stuart Parry also joined in with a solo of Glen Cambell’s ‘Rhinestone Cowboy’ and the item finished with a whip crackin’ rendition of ‘Rawhide’ by chorister Andy Friedman.
The party also included games and a raffle all of which raised about £130 for the St David’s Hospice Care, contributing to the near £2,000 raised for the charity this year.
