Sunday Bandstand 24 December 2023
Welcome to Sunday Bandstand's Christmas Eve show. For the first time since 2007 we have managed to squeeze in 25 tracks including the opening and closing theme in our two hour show.
There are many old favourites and a few new ones as well. With bands from around the world, soloists straight out of the top drawer matched only with the wonderful vocalists and two world class choirs on the show as well you are in for a treat.
On behalf of everyone Sunday Bandstand I send you all best wishes for Christmas and let us hope that 2024 can only improve on this last year. How ever you are spending Christmas Day or your festive holiday have a wonderful time with your family and friends. But try to be mindful of anyone in your street who might not see anyone over Christmas. Please take a few minutes to see how they are, a neighbourly friendly face will brighten their day up as well.
Enjoy the show...
