Hello,
With just a few days to go, The Mandolinquents come together – in spirit at least – to wish you a very Merry Christmas. It may not be quite the Christmas we’d all planned for, so for a bit of extra seasonal cheer we thought we’d include some e-cards from previous years – you’re very welcome to share them.
The Mandolinquents’ first live date in two years is on 28th January in Streatley-on-Thames (fingers crossed!!) If not there, we hope to see you somewhere on our travels next year.
With all good wishes for 2022,
Hilary, Simon, Richard, Gerald, Anne and all at Acoustics.
Christmases Past
Here’s a selection of our e-cards from previous years.
I Saw Three Ships
Shakespeare’s ‘Winter’
Christmas Candle & Past Three O’Clock
The Angel Gabriel
When Summer Comes Again
Thank you to everyone who ordered Simon and Hilary’s new CD. It’s been a bit of a rush to get them all out in good time for Christmas, but I think we made it! Celebrations take over now but we’re already itching to get into the studio – Simon has his first fiddle album to finish!
