1) Evening all, Dave here running a little late but here we begin an evening of carols and capers and I'd like to open with this by Jackson Browne, my favourite secular Christ,as song, the one I wish I'd wrote
3) Another great Christmas story
5) Not so much a carol service tonight as a rather revealing stream of consciousness of how my mind works at this time of year and every Christmas this song comes back to me even though there is no mention of Christmas
6) About five years ago I stumbled on this on Youtube and now return to it most Christmas times because I simply find it haunting
7) Christmas for me would not be right without hearing Maddy Prior.
8) And then there is Reg
9) For many years a major part of Christmas for me was the Davey Lamp Folk Club Christmas party, this was a fab one!
10) Another great north east Christmas tradition were the Lindisfarne Christmas concerts at Newcastle City Hall, I miss them so much
A few years ago now Mrs Dave inrtroduced me to the magic that is Yo Yo Ma
12) About six years ago I discovered the work of Pete Rollins and he has transformed my theology, here is a Christmas reflection from Pete
14) A tiny bit of Ken
15) A truly 21st century tradition is the Christmas flash mob
16) Maxie, a well know Geordie comedian has been a pal since my youth and astood by me all through the dark days when I had not come to terms with my sight loss, here he is as the dame in the Newcastle Panto
17) THIS!
18)George Welch has been a pal for 40yrs, when I first started loosing my sight he & I used to play nearest to the board darts in the pub with Georg throwing them backwards over his shoulder. Here he is wishing us all Goodnight. Hope you've enjoyed it.
