At 2pm in the Library annexe the Bailey Sisters will entertain us with their 'Alternative Christmas Concert'.
"We're not sisters and we don't drink Baileys . . ."
The Bailey Sisters are Alyson Rainey, Karen Dyson and Shelley Rainey. Karen and Shelley have sung all of their lives in various choirs, and met through their chamber choir Duodecimo. Although Aly's musical background is mainly orchestral, she too has a fine singing voice, which fortunately slots neatly into the mezzo role.
They decided to start singing together after attending several singing courses led by Maddy Prior, Abbie Lathe and Rose Kemp at Stones Barn in Cumbria.
With the addition of Karen's guitar, Aly's fiddle and Shelley's recorders, they offer a wide variety of traditional, self-penned and classical material, ranging from the thirteenth century to the present day. However, they are becoming particularly known for their a cappella performances.
Admission £5 including refreshments - pay on the door.
