Can you imagine Christmas without a classic film (or two) to enjoy with a cheeky sherry (or three)? Well some sensible folks can’t even imagine a Christmas without our annual festive feast of movie music. And if you’re 8 or 80 there’s something for you. Expect the sumptuous sounds of Hollywood’s Golden Age, John Williams blockbusters, Disney favourites and the occasional surprise. Singer and presenter Jamie MacDougall is once again in the director’s chair for this fabulous matinee performance.
