Tea and Tracks: Merry Christmas - Bing Crosby
Crosby. Cake. Christmas with a view.
There’s something about Bing Crosby at Christmas. The unmistakable voice. The sweeping orchestras. Those familiar festive songs that take you straight back to Christmases past.
As the Quayside lights begin to twinkle over the Tyne, head into the warmth and join us on the Concourse for a festive tea with a difference, as we settle in to hear Bing Crosby’s Merry Christmas in full.
Bite into a finger sandwich. Break open a warm, freshly baked scone. Spoon up something sweet. Sip a proper pot of steaming tea. Maybe even a little fizz, should the festive spirit take hold.
Along the way, we’ll unwrap the stories behind the songs. Expect curious Crosby facts, Christmas lore and the little details that make this much-loved album worth listening to all over again.
Velvety vocals, delicious festive treats and enough Christmas nostalgia to warm even the frostiest December evening.
Suddenly, ‘It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas’…
