The season approaches, and you know what that means: Tinsel. Holly. Peace on earth. Obviously we're used to all those things. But did you know that "Deck The Halls" originally went "fill the mead-cup, drain the barrel, troul the ancient Yuletide carol"? So the instructions, handed down from the ages, are perfectly clear. Get jolly. Drink alcohol. Sing Christmas songs. (Those of a more conventional mindset may wish to don gay apparel instead of drinking, but true completists will want to do both.)

But where? What social occasion might see us laughing quaffing all together, heedless of the wind and weather? Well, have you considered A Swingin' Bella Christmas - a finger-snappin', toe-tappin' romp through traditional carols, modern favourites and specially-written original songs of the season, executed with airy panache by a horn-laden bevy of brilliant performers known throughout the civilised world as the Bella All-Star Band?

Your MCs Casey Bennetto and Geraldine Quinn will be joined by special guests as they navigate the musical joys and sorrows of the season in a special FOUR-night engagement (on December 19th, 20th and 21st, and now an extra show on the 18th!) in the salubrious surrounds of the delightful Brunswick Ballroom. There'll be brand new songs and very very old ones, there'll be sparkles and japes and general seasonal merriment. It's A Swingin' Bella Christmas!

The Bella All-Star Band:
Gideon Brazil
Nick Karasavvidis
Holly Moore
Mal Webb
Vincenzo Ruberto
Shannon Bourne
Enio Pozzebon
and special guest
Kylie Morrigan
