Pupils lend their vocal talents to jazz night fundraiser
THE Bureau Restaurant in Whiteabbey will be holding a special 'Jingles & Jazz' night next week to raise funds for homeless people across Northern Ireland.
With Santa Claus coming to town in just a few weeks, Whiteabbey Primary School pupils have proved just how nice - and definitely not naughty - they are by lending their voices to the event, which will take place on Tuesday (December 1).
The evening of seasonal song, which will raise funds for the Simon Community, will feature members of the school choir performing Christmas carol classics, followed by Hugh Carslaw’s jazz quartet ‘jazzing up’ festive favourites.
Admission to Jingles & Jazz, which takes place between 6pm and 9pm, is completely free.
Attendees can enjoy complimentary mulled wine, mince pies and roasted chestnuts, and are simply asked to make a donation on the evening to the Simon Community.
“At this time of year when we are all particularly focused on the luxuries and comfort of home, it is perhaps particularly important to consider the hardships faced by those who are homeless,” said Noreen Kennedy from the Simon Community.
“We’re extremely grateful for every donation made and for businesses such as Bureau which are dedicating resources and commitment to help raise vital funds,” she added.
