We were delighted to be asked to sing at the official switch-on of the Canterbury Christmas lights on 20 November, 2014.

We were joined on-stage by the cast of the Marlowe Theatre pantomime Aladdin, as well as opera singer Hercules and the Lord Mayor of Canterbury. The event attracted hundreds - it was a challenge to even get on the stage!

CCGC also sang at the Vineyard Church’s carol service and at a special screening of ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ at the East Quay restaurant in Whitstable.

A bit of culture

CCGC joined forces with Swale Singers to provide entertainment to diners at the Kent Culture Awards on 12 June, 2014, held at the University of Kent in Canterbury.

We were coached by Lucky Moyo from Music for Change and our contribution had a distinctly African vibe! It was nice to see award nominees and their guests getting into the spirit of the occasion and joining in!

These annual Awards are designed to recognise the outstanding work of creative practitioners in East Kent: fine artists, performers, venues and commercial designers working in all mediums. They also celebrate and showcase the benefits that the creative industries bring to the East Kent region, helping it to become a prime tourist destination, a centre of excellence for arts education and a focal point for creative individuals and commercial organisations.
