Elderly Christmas dinner
Most of the singers and musicians who led or took part at the carol singing at the Sujue Coffee Morning event, reprised their performances at the Cultural Centre on Wednesday, December 17, for the benefit of the Montserrat Senior Citizens Association Christmas Party, with a few additions.
Pupils from St. Augustine Primary School sang The Little Drummer Boy and We Wish You a Merry Christmas, both in Chinese. This impressive effort (I wonder how many primary school children outside China can sing songs in Chinese) was directed by Pat Ryan, with Cris van Beuren on piano. There was also a ‘Christmas on Saxophone’ performance by Mr Joseph.
Announcements were done throughout by Cupid, and Mr Easton Farrell closed the concert by inviting everybody to sing Silent Night together.
The elderly citizens of Montserrat seemed to very much enjoy the performances, clapping and singing along, and even hooting on their Christmas horns as enthusiastic accompaniments to many of the performances.
