A Festive Evening of Jazz and Soul Christmas Classics
Vocalist Maddie Martin has lived in Chalfont St Giles her whole life. Since graduating from the Royal Academy of Music last July, she’s been performing across London and the UK with various bands and ensembles. Recently, Maddie recorded her debut EP and hosted a successful fundraiser for the project at the Chalfont St Giles Memorial Hall. The incredible support from the village inspired Maddie and her band to return - this time for a Christmas Celebration!

The lineup features Maddie on vocals, Columbus Sandor on piano, Guy Dempsey on bass, Kai Macrae on drums, Joe Evans on trombone, and Josh Short on trumpet and flugelhorn.

We are pleased to welcome local author, Denise Beddows, to give an illustrated talk about Christmas in the Victorian times. Denise will also touch on traditions that pre-dated this period, as well as many of the Victorian (and German) customs that we still enjoy today. The talk will take place at 2pm on Friday 5 December in Chalfont St Giles Parish Church and will be followed by tea and mince pies. There is no charge for the talk and all are welcome. As always, any and all donations will be greatly appreciated. Denise is founder of the hugely successful Chiltern Kills Crime Festival in Gerrards Cross, and an active supporter of Chalfont St Giles & Jordans Literary Festival. She held a senior position in government for many years, with a background in research, investigation and intelligence analysis which saw her work and live in over 20 countries. During this time she was tear-gassed, mortar-bombed, held-up at gunpoint by sky marshalls and briefly taken hostage. Now writing from the much quieter environment of her home in the Chalfonts, she has published numerous crime and espionage novels, and true crime. Her books regularly sit in Amazon’s top five best sellers and is widely celebrated in professional awards ceremonies. We are honoured and grateful that Denise has generously agreed to give this talk for our enjoyment and as a fundraiser to support the Friends of the Church charity.
