Jalon Valley Help Say Thank You
On behalf of Jalon Valley Help (JVH) the Entertainers opened their Carols in the Square season on 2nd December, in the centre of the beautiful village of Lliber. Then on Friday 5th December, in the church square in Orba, on Tuesday 9th December, in church square in Xalo and finally on 22nd December in the magical church square in Alcalali. JVH arrange these fun events to thank the community for their support and donations through the year, which enable them to provide medical equipment to anyone in need in the community, and so with the early evening rain passing the audience settled down to enjoy this first ever performance in the wonderful setting in Lliber.
Mince Pies & Carols
With JVH giving away mince pies and chocolates an eager audience had gathered so as the clock struck 6pm The Entertainers opened their show by wishing Merry Christmas Everyone and then gave a wonderful show of a wide range of seasonal songs. Particularly well received were the Philippine carol Christmas in our Hearts, sung be Gee & Marc, and Baby its Cold Outside, performed by Linda & Bob. However, my heart was stolen by their wonderful presentation of three old favourites Silent Night, Gloria in Excelsis and Adeste Fideleste (O come all ye faithful) – these reminded me of similar evening as a child with my parents, but thankfully it was warmer here in Spain.
The evenings had something for everyone as the Entertainers gave us the perennial favourites Little Drummer Boy, White Christmas, the less usual Christmas duet, by Jo & Bob, of Fairytale of New York and no Christmas show would be complete without Pete singing Dominik the Donkey. The Entertainers closed by wishing everybody Feliz Navidad and finished with their favourite Love Shine a Light and thanked everybody for their support throughout 2025.
On behalf of JVH Lorrie Harkness thanked everyone for coming and wished everyone a very merry Christmas. Her special thanks went to the Entertainers for their wonderful performances, with members of the audience in raptures at what was described as a phenomenal evening.
