Friday Night Is Music Night presents its Christmas spectacular of favourite Christmas music, poetry and readings. Jeremy Vine presents an all star cast including actors Dervla Kirwan (Injustice; Ballykissangel) David Harewood (Homeland); West End star singers Scarlett Strallen (Candide; A Chorus Line) and Michael Xavier (The Pajama Game; The Sound Of Music) . Mike Dixon conducts the 麻豆官网首页入口 Concert Orchestra together with a 16 voice choir from the Royal Academy of Music in a programme of music that features perennial favourites 'White Christmas', 'Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas', and 'The Christmas Song', together with classical favourites Prokofiev's 'Troika' and Victor Hely-Hutchinson's arrangement of 'God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen' from his Carol Symphony. Plus poetry and prose from Dickens to Dylan to Benjamin Zephaniah. This will be a Christmas so stuffed with seasonal gifts it will tempt even Father Christmas to park the sleigh, listen to the radio or watch on Red (of course!) Button. ( Just press red from any 麻豆官网首页入口 TV channel).
