Carols for CRY

 

15th December 2011

The Guards' Chapel, Wellington Barracks

 

Over 500 people attended the Carols for CRY concert in the beautiful Guards Chapel in Wellington Barracks on the evening of December 15 for a fundraising carol service very kindly organised for CRY by Pippa Miller.

The evening opened with music from the Band of the Irish Guards, directed by Major Wayne Hopla, and after the first carol the Reverend Clinton Langston CF welcomed the congregation.

 

In amongst hymns, such as 'The Holly and the Ivy' and 'Hark! The Herald Angels Sing', were several readings by CRY Patrons Simon Halliday, Phil Packer, Nick Easter, Bill Neely, CRY Chairman Hugh Mulcahey and Angus Fraser. The Choir of the Guards' Chapel provided further music, under the direction of Tim Horton, including 3 pieces from the work of composer Cecilia McDowall.

Solo performances were also provided by CRY Patron Pixie Lott singing 'Silent Night' accompanied by her guitarist Ben Jones and CRY Patron Kathryn Harries singing 'Rejoice Greatly' (from Handel's Messiah).

After the concert finished, guests were invited to the marquee for refreshments where Pixie performed a medley of songs with Ben.

Corporate sponsors for the carol service were: AXA Framlington, Calor and ICAP.
