The Everyman Christmas Songbook

From an idea 20 years ago, to a team which tours the country, the Everyman Sunday Songbook crew bring joy and energy to all their shows! Some cast members have changed over the years, but originals Linda Kenny and Damien Smith are still as full of love and enthusiasm for the series as ever. Because they all live in different parts of the country, they have to travel to the midlands to meet and rehearse! So Elmarie phoned them when they were on the road after a meet-up to prepare for THE ULTIMATE CHRISTMAS SHOW!
