On Sunday 14 December we welcomed audiences to Arundells for Swing into Christmas, with afternoon and evening performances that mixed jazz, swing and seasonal favourites.
Luke Futcher and Sarah Scutt put together a relaxed, good-humoured programme that combined Christmas songs with swing and early jazz standards. Alongside festive favourites such as White Christmas and Jingle Bell Rock, the set included numbers like Choo Choo Ch’Boogie and Pennies From Heaven, with plenty of informal chat and gently irreverent commentary between songs.
Having played together for many years, Luke and Sarah’s easy rapport was evident throughout, both musically and in their on-stage exchanges.
Thank you to everyone who came along and helped make the day such a success, and to John Rose for capturing the performances in his photographs.
