A Whiting Bay Christmas in Song and Story

John Cruikshank

On Friday 14th December at 7.00 pm in Whiting Bay Hall, a Christmas concert will feature two contrasting singing groups, Ain’t Misbehavin’ and Vivace, both of which originate in Whiting Bay. They are joined by local author and poet Alison Prince who, as we all know, was the scriptwriter for the BBC’s Trumpton, and also by James Burge with songs and guitar and Pat Eyres singing with a children’s group.

We are delighted to have retired prison governor, Robbie Glen, as our Compère. As everyone who has heard him will know, Robbie is a very amusing raconteur who has travelled internationally, speaking at dinners and Burns Suppers. He alone is worth coming to hear – and the rest of us are pretty good too! Members of the audience will also be invited to exercise their vocal cords. There’s nothing like singing some festive songs to get you in the Christmas mood.

Entrance is £5 for adults at the door. The seating will be café style and you may bring wine, beer etc. Tea, coffee and mince pies will be served. There will be a raffle and proceeds will go to Yorkhill Children’s Hospital.
