LGB entertained the Christmas shoppers of Lewes on Sunday 18 December.

It being the night after the band’s Christmas dinner at the Green Man, Ringmer (great food, by the way) there were one or two sore heads around – but nevertheless we raised a fantastic £189.22 (and 30 cents). Thanks to everyone who threw us a few bob as they walked past (and to the small child who threw back what he ‘borrowed’).

Next year though, we might be featuring a special guest star, following the excellent cameo performed by honorary LGB member, Jack Humberstone (son of cornet player Jane). Jack undoubtedly earned us a few extra ‘cute child’ contributions by performing not only Little Donkey, but also Away In A Manger with a confidence belying his years…

Jane – how about teaching him Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer for next year?!
