Christmas Dinner Carols

Why not use the Band for your annual society Christmas dinner entertainment? Book us to play carols in the background before we lead you and your guests in an after dinner singing of traditional Christmas carols. Why not let us help you get in the spirit with a round of "12 Days of Christmas" and other Christmas tunes? The Band have developed this format very successfully with a now regular spot at Pannal Golf Club.
