The Loose Cannons sang carols at Royal Pavilion Christmas Banquet, after the choir that had been booked developed Covid and had to pull out.

Gloria, a Loose Cannon singer, said, ‘We were thrilled to sing in the splendid surroundings of King George IV’s music room and felt our energy enhanced by its exotic decoration – the perfect Christmas venue."

The Cannons raise funds for Brighton & Hove Soiree Rotary Club’s local charities supporting the vulnerable at Christmas, and their informal and lively performance achieved a standing ovation from the black-tie audience, before they then played the Hove Place pub in First Avenue on the same night.
