Working within an informal framework the Dean invites the congregation to sing all their favourite carols and read the traditional lessons. Musical accompaniment is provided by the Tudor Rose Brass Quintet, the Thursday Singers and the Director of Music, Peter Wright. There is a retiring collection for the charity, CRISIS. "The Carol Sing-in seems to be remarkably popular with workers just before Christmas," says Colin Slee. "It�s all a bit hazardous because it's not like a normal carol service. The people who come risk getting picked on to sing a solo, read a lesson, or jump up and down jangling their keys!" http://www.dswark.org/cathedral Tuesday 18 December LAST MINUTE DESIGNER SHOPPING Until 8pm; Oxo Tower Wharf http://www.oxotower.co.uk South Bank's major shopping evening event. ======================================================= [ Free glass of wine at fish!
