A Very Bella Christmas 2009

22nd Dec 2009

Presenter: Bella Union Events
Website: http://www.bellaunion.com.au
Event Duration: 150 minutes

Riddle us this, punters: What do you get when you mix Clare Bartholomew, Casey Bennetto, Scott Edgar, Steven Gates, the Half-Arsed Three, Simon Hall, Andrew McClelland, Ali McGregor, Carl Pannuzzo, Eddie Perfect, Geraldine Quinn, Dan Tobias, many other friends, a book of Christmas carols and an unhealthy devotion to John Denver's "Rocky Mountain Christmas"?
 
Very tired arms, probably, unless you use some kind of electric mixer. But you'll also get A Very Bella Christmas!

This annual gathering at Bella Union has resulted in some strange and beautiful musical moments over the last few years - sure, also some horrid abominations that should never have seen the light of day, but, eh, you make an omelette, you gotta break some eggs, right?

On December 22nd, whether you're closing up your business for the year or fighting your way through hordes of city shoppers in a frantic effort to knock off those last few prezzies, you should cut yourself some slack. Give yourself a break. Come to A Very Bella Christmas at 7.30pm, catch up with friends and warble along to the most soulful, deep, funky and strange renditions of seasonal standards it may ever be your peculiar pleasure to hear.
 
It's naughty. It's nice. (It goes on both lists.) It'll jingle your bells and roast your chestnuts. It's A Very Bella Christmas.
