It’s Christmas gig time tonight with Charnwood Concert Band at Thorpe Acre church. That means I get to do double duty – as worship pastor of the church, welcoming the band in and making sure they have everything they need and on electric bass, laying down the low end for the ensemble (along with tuba, baritone sax and bass clarinet as part of tonight’s line up).

Oh, and as you can seen on the poster, created by our drummer, Paul, there are mince pies as well. I’d better go and box up the set I baked this afternoon.

The concert starts at 7:30pm tonight, doors open about 7pm and admission is £7 on the door, cash or card.
