Annual seasonal show Bill Scott's Yuletide Tales returns to Scarborough's YMCA Theatre
A Christmas celebration with a difference returns when Bill Scott and Friends offer Yuletide Tales, their annual concert of seasonal music and readings, at the YMCA Theatre, Scarborough, later this month.
The programme features local maestro and musical director Bill on keyboard, singing with Lesley Machen, Jan Burtenshaw-Scott and Tim Tubbs.
“Expect Christmas favourites and less familiar songs, from around the world,” said musical director Bill who arranges most of the quartet’s music himself.
“We do four-part harmony; and the music is in every conceivable mood, from much-loved carols and favourite pop songs to numbers from film musicals … always with a little surprise or two.”
This year, as always, Bill has composed a new carol and closing number, as well as a new arrangement of the carol the field-mice sing in The Wind In The Willows.
The readings and linking narratives have been put together and delivered by local actor Tim Tubbs, who promises “poems, traditions and stories from all ages in every imaginable mood, all around Christmas and the many different ways it’s celebrated.”
The concert lasts two hours, including the interval.
It is on at the YMCA Theatre on Tuesday December 16 at 7pm.
Tickets are £9, no concessions, including mulled wassail, mince pies and cake in the interval.

The show is also at the Kirk Theatre, Pickerinh, on Wednesday December 17 at 7.30pm.
Tickets are £14 no concessions.
