Beer and Carols at the Hillsborough


What a brilliant way to spend christmas 07. The hillsborough Hotel let us take over the pub over december with a full nativity scene, and on the night they brought in 2 live sheep. the pub was packed and Carols were sung for 1 1/2 hours via requests.

A big thanks to Fiona for her playing on the piano, Debbie on the recorder and My wife Gina leading the singing.


The following day the smell of the stable of Sheep pee! was interesting. Was this how it might of smelt like 2000 years ago. Not quite the idilic picture we would like it to be.


Hope to make this a regular event - Beer and singing not Sheep pee!
