Why yes, I know it's July. I totally know it. But I wanted to do this for ages and I have my annual Christmas fit.

Line up: Lisa Lambe, Susan McFadden, Máiréad Nesbitt, Mairéad Carlin and a special guest apperance by Chloe Agnew

Setting: In the Helix, very simple and a little home-ish. One traditionally decorated Christmas tree in the background with some red/green/golden presents and a teddy bear, a sleigh and a small rockinghorse below it. Very intimate and close atmosphere. While ACC had the more mysterious gentle Christmas atmosphere and HFC was rather pompous and glorious, this one will have more of a family Christmas at home feeling. More intimate, a little more rustic and modest maybe. But it will still have the glory of Christmas.

Dresses act I: Shining, simple white dresses with elegant details, mermaid skirts for Mai C and Susan, wide skirts for Lisa and Chloe and a waving skirt for Mái N
Dresses Entr'Acte: for Susan, Lisa, Chloe and Mai C simple, wade-long, longsleeved dresses in different shades of gold with simple cream shoes, bright white dress in the same design with shining golden mary-janes for Máiréad N
Dresses act II: Extravagant gowns with silver and golden details, green for Chloe and Susan, red for Mai C and Lisa, golden with a wavy, feathery skirt for Mái N

I think it would be cool to have Mairead N play God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen as a fiddle solo with Ray on bodhran.
