19th December - The Mighty Lemons at the Hope & Anchor

The Hope & Anchor was our venue for the 19th performance of the Wokingham Living Advent Calendar.

We were joined by the Mighty Lemons who are quite simply the best Ukulele covers band in the world (at least that's what Nigels' mum says). They only play for charity and good causes and they played a few awesome Christmas tunes as well as some rocking covers. Normally a 7 piece Ukulele band they were short a couple of lemons but proved to still be pretty mighty despite this handicap.

No sour notes were heard during their renditions of "Jingle Bells", "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" and the Queen classic "Fat Bottomed Girls" among a number of other songs. Finishing off with "I'm Gonna Be (500 miles)" originally by the Proclaimers and with an encore of "Brown Eyed Girl" the audience sang and occasionally danced along throughout the performance.



Tonight we will be at The Dukes Head for Not the North band a four piece rock fusion act which from their description will be quite an interesting mix of styles from Prog Rock to Latin beats.
