Tonight we played two hours of great music across the genres and decades. We had a number of requests including from Phyl who reminded us that it will soon be Advent and this is the prelude to Christmas. Patrick requested a track that had been a number one for Bucks Fizz, but most of us had forgotten.
Tonight’s playlist.

Pentantonix – Mary did you know – requested by Phyl and loved by Sue who told us that she loved everything by the group.
