Chris Stanbury 12th Dec 2023
Chris played the Yamaha ELS-02X Stagea organ, fully integrating its many orchestral sounds. He entertained with an extensive mix of pieces and a smattering of festive ones, perhaps not as many as there may have been, the audience not too excited about Christmas yet, but then it was only the 12th of December. There was much to listen to, music and humorous commentary. The pieces played drew enthusiastic audience applause and some to their feet cheering for an encore – Thunderbirds are go.
From the second half
The Raiders March, Raindrops keep falling on my head, Ding Dong merrily on high, Good King Wenceslas, God rest ye merry gentlemen, Deck the halls, A Disney medley, When you wish upon a star, ‘Heigh Ho’ – Snow White, Someday my prince will come, I wanna be like you. Can You Feel The Love Tonight, You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me, Out of the blue, Bohemian Rhapsody, (Brazil) Tico Tico, Juke box jury theme, Lets dance, Bobby’s Girl, Happy birthday sweet sixteen, Encore – Thunderbirds are go.
