Our hope is that you leave Sounds of the Season ready to welcome Christmas with a full heart and a renewed spirit.” This year’s show is set for 7 p.m. Dec. 16 at London First United Methodist Church, 52 N. Main St. Admission is free. Donations will be accepted at the door. Several area performers auditioned to be part of the 2018 line-up. The result is 20 acts, ranging from soloists to ensembles performing a mix of vocal and instrumental numbers. Among those who will entertain are London residents Clayton Burke and Paul Oswalt singing “Happy Christmas” by John Lennon, with Burke also providing accompaniment on acoustic guitar. Dean Harris, a Madison-Plains student, will sing “Hallelujah Christmas,” and Madeline Frambes and Isaac Keefer, students at Jonathan Alder High School, will sing “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.” Londonite Ellie Shoemaker, a college freshmen, is back again with her ukulele, and The Music Men of London barbershop quartet plan to sing “White Christmas,” the version made popular by The Drifters.
