Join Anne-Marie for another special festive edition of Classic FM Requests, on Christmas Day from 10am.James – ALWAYS! It’s particularly hard to recreate the feel of book illustrations when drawing at speed, and often things look different up on the screen, so I’ll be rehearsing a lot to help me feel confident on the day! James – My husband is Spanish so our Christmas is a mix of traditions. My favourite thing is the Dia de los Reyes – The Three Kings Festival on January 6th. We always throw a party and follow the Spanish tradition of a King’s Cake, and gift-giving. It’s a wonderful way to end the festivities. Christmas Theatre 2022 will be one of the most crucial festive seasons in stage history. TheQR is talking to as many of those making theatre in the UK this year as possible, to play a small part in raising their profile, and opportunities for a successful run. Though many of us face a tough winter, financially speaking, a magical night of theatre offers a (warm) escape for a few hours, and if you have the expendable income available will help support the livelihoods of those who keep that magic alive. Some of the most exciting, dramatic and downright entertaining programmes from over fifty years of broadcasting are brought together in this special event, presented by Zeb Soanes. One thing unites them all – unforgettable theme music. Tonight’s concert brings you that music from The Bridgewater Hall stage in a live performance with a healthy dose of nostalgia. Zeb met HRH The Duchess of Cornwall at a celebration of 125yrs of Country life Magazine at Claridges Hotel.
