25 Years of The Albion Christmas Band

Nov 21, 2024

The Albion Christmas Band show features seasonal songs and tunes smattered with humorous readings and the occasional silly dance. Described in The Guardian as “The perfect antidote to the corporate Xmas”

 Widely regarded as the premier seasonal show, which has been touring for 25 years this year, it attracts sell-out audiences across the UK.  Indeed, many people say that their Christmas doesn’t start until they have seen The Albion Christmas Band.

Featuring the combined talents of Simon Nicol (Fairport Convention), Kellie While (Albion Band) Simon Care (Edward II) and the Guvnor himself, Ashley Hutchings MBE, this show takes you on a guided tour through the Christmas customs of Britain, .with  an evening of traditional English Christmas music, song and celebratory readings.
