Our adventures in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus continue....

Joan and I went down to the BRS mince pie and mulled wine gathering this morning, held in the church hall at St Andrews, then a little shopping on the way home and an early evening meal, because we were all of to the Chateau Lambousa this evening.

Chorous Lambousa, a group of expats who have gathered together to form a choral group and to entertain. This evenings show was a mixture of show songs and Xmas music. The scene is set in a public bar > back in the fifties and a lot of effort has gone in to recreate fashion from this era, some of us even remember it all......
The pub is run by the local landlord who reckons to be Master of the House when Dolly his wife is not around. All of the show songs were well known and we as an audiance were encouraged to sing along occasionaly. There were some great performances by all these amateurs who obviously enjoyed their evening as much as the audiance did. Eventually we were told that Santa Claus is coming to town and when Santa did actually come on stage, he was waylaid by a lady with very expensive tastes singing "Santa Baby". A very funny perormance by the Angel of the Xmas tree to the tune "Nobody Loves a Fairy" had us all in stitches. A super show and obviously lots of effort had gone in to making it so.
