| Performance Notes | The Royal Albert Halls Afternoon Coffee Club is a series of relaxed live music performances ranging from smooth jazz to classical. These events welcome groups and individuals who may engage with a charity or community group, as well as those who may benefit from the more intimate and comfortable surroundings of the Elgar Room.
Aimed at an older audience, moving about, dancing and singing are all welcome, as is simply sitting and listening. Come along and share conversations over a hot drink, whilst enjoying world-class musicians!
Join resident Engagement ensemble Alberts Band for a festive concert to celebrate the iconic musical history of the Royal Albert Hall.
Musicians Thomas Gray, Mike Poyser and Seb Philpott will share some of their favourite carols and songs along with a fascinating insight into how the Hall has celebrated Christmas over the years including a tale about the worlds largest Christmas pudding and Prince Alberts link to the tradition of the Christmas Tree!
