Sandi Toksvig and Friends Making the Yuletide Gay @ Royal Albert Hall

Don your festive glad rags and join national treasure Sandi Toksvig for an evening of singing, silliness and maybe even snow. Absolutely everyone is welcome at this celebration of the great LGBTQIA family and their allies. Help Sandi belt out some familiar tunes, accompanied by the London Gay Mens Chorus, the BBC Concert Orchestra conducted by Karen N Bhroin, organist Anna Lapwood, dancers from Laine Theatre Arts, and some very special guests yet to be announced. Bring your partners, your parents, and possibly a hanky, as there may also be some touching moments. Or come alone and make friends! Its time to say Gldelig Jul, which is Danish for Merry Christmas, and may take a little practice. It wont be the same without you.
