Christmas Matters

I've recently joined the fabulous caroling group, Christmas Matters, and I'm really looking forward to singing with them this holiday season!

If you need a quartet of Victorian carolers, we'd love to sing for you!

Hm, is it just me or does this look an awfully lot like country matters, only better dressed ;)

Shh! This is their secret identity!

looks like a quality group!!

=)

It is! All of the singers are excellent, and we have a huge repertoire. My costume is complete, and I have my first caroling performance on Sunday. I'm very excited!

And if you know of anyone who might need carolers for a holiday party, please pass along our information. :)

AWESOME.

i hope to get involved with that group some day...

congrats, you are a great addition to a great group (heard them perform at Cate's a while back, though i already knew they were good).

Thank you! They are definitely a great group, and I'm having a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to all of the performances next month!

You should contact Heather and audition, if you're interested. How's your sightreading? ;)

I want to take phtographs :) :) :)

Gee, let me think about that for a min-SURE!

Most of my gigs are are country clubs, so you probably won't be able to come and shoot unless you're a member. But I have one at an assisted-living facility in Chino, and one at Torrance Memorial Hospital, so those may be open to the public.

I'll put you in touch with Myra - she'll know about the other gigs and which ones might be especially photogenic.

Or, if you all just say... are standing out somewhere singing. I don't know that I would have the particular heart to go to an assisted living facility during the Christmas season to take photographs. It may remind me of my late parents and the atmosphere would not be right. The event is for them not me...so, think of something else dear.

Of course. I understand. Myra will know where we're performing. We generally sing in quartets, so there are many more gigs where I won't be present, and some of those may be open to the public.

Of course, if you'd like to hire us to sing for you, you can take as many pictures as you like! :)

Gee, wish I had known earlier about this...I could have "used" you all, but it's too late. I look forward to seeing (hearing) you all somewhere.

nothing to do with caroling- What was that british site with the full cup bras and clothing? I can't find it anywhere...

Bravissimo (http://www.bravissimo.com), and I can't recommend them highly enough. Sadly, everything's priced in pounds, so it's more expensive than it was four years ago.
