“Mac Farlane is Spectacular” at Queen’s Hall

A spectacular spectacle best describes Brian MacFarlane’s Christmas production, Christmas Joy – the Gift of the Drum. The concert which premiered on November 26 was a mixture of old and new, nostalgia and excitement, with dramatic lighting and pageantry in the best tradition of the famed mas-man.

MacFarlane, who was not able to attend the concert due to ill-health, sent greetings to the attendees and said the event is “proof of what we can do if we’re prepared to work hard.” He thanked the cast and directors Dr Charles Brunner, Richard Anthony Pierre and Dr Helmer Hilwig for their hard work and dedication.
