Subject: Folk Carols and Midwinter Songs at Holy Trinity Church, Guildford - Tues 18th Decmber

First, a big thank you to all those of you who came along to see Oysterband, Maypoles To Mistletoe, John Kirkpatrick and Mr Gubbins' Bicycle in such numbers that you filled up Farnham Maltings, The Electric Theatre, The Guildford Institute and Godalming Borough Hall respectively. Four fantastic events. And here's the fifth, and our final event for 2007.

TRADITIONAL FOLK CAROLS AT HOLY TRINITY CHURCH, HIGH STREET, GUILDFORD

Internationally acclaimed a capella trio Coope, Boyes & Simpson will be joined by Fi Fraser, Jo Freya and Georgina Boyes to present their "hit" concert of tradional Derbyshire and Yorkshire folk carols "Voices At The Door" at Guildford's Holy Trinity Church on Tuesday 18th December. The album of the concert was last year's number one in Amazon's Christmas Carol CD Charts, thanks to the airplay it received on Classic FM where Natalie Wheen has described the singers as her "favourite, favourite carols singers".

The concert combines carols - joyful and vigorous, darkly resonant or sublime - with stories of squabbling choirs, composers, collectors and controversy in a words and music programme of superb unaccompanied harmonies and fascinating historical detail. The music includes include "The Wexford Carol", several examples from the still vibrant Sheffield tradition of pub carols, "Adam Lay Ybounden" from the 15th century, several wassails, two variants of "While Shepherds Watched" and a dance-like performance of "Ding Dong Merrily On High".

Voices at the Door captures the essence of the season and, as one reviewer put it, "it will clear all that supermarket muzak out of your head".

Doors open - 7.30pm. Concert starts - 8.00pm.

Tickets are on sale at Guildford Tourist Information, 01483 444333 or online at http://homepage.ntlworld.com/borodance/musici.htm#voices
