On Sunday 4^th December members from Fulham Band kicked off the busy holiday season by entertaining passers-by with Christmas carols as part of the annual Belgravia Christmas Sunday!

We played 2 individual slots full of traditional and modern carols and then ended the day accompanying St Peter’s Eaton Square Church Choir and the crowd with a few hearty favourite carols – Even Father Christmas joined us on stage for a good old sing-a-long!

This was the first of many of our extensive programme of Christmas Carol gigs – keep checking our ‘Upcoming events’ section to see where you can watch us play next…
