Advent Calendar of Carols: Whitburn Band – Away in a Manger

Scottish Open champions Whitburn Band have been recording virtual pieces since the start of the Coronavirus pandemic to much acclaim. Now it has some Christmas crackers lined up for everyone to enjoy.

The band has recorded five new tracks and they will be published between now and Christmas, the first of which will feature an incredible 90 performers when it joins up with the magnificent Glasgow Phoenix Choir from 7pm tonight on Whitburn’s Facebook and YouTube pages.

As a taster of things to come here is Away in a Manger, a flugel solo featuring Caroline Farren who, incidentally, is SBBA’s Child Protection Officer: https://youtu.be/wVk5qvADZ24

• If you would like to record – or have previously recorded – a favourite carol or melody as a virtual band, a socially distanced ensemble or as a soloist (with or without accompaniment) for inclusion in our Advent Calendar, please email sbbapr@gmail.com with your clip or link for it to be published on the SBBA YouTube channel.
