THE Salvation Army’s Strawberry Field will bring its annual Christmas carol concert to St George’s Hall this November.

‘Celebrating Christmas’ will take place on November 26 at 4pm and will feature music from the Liverpool Walton Salvation Army Band.

It will also include music from singer Asa Murphy and Britain’s Got Talent semi finalist Charlie Green, as well as Liverpool Lighthouse choir, while the evening will be compered by BBC Radio Merseyside’s Paul Beesley.

Major Allister Versfeld, mission development officer at Strawberry Field, said: “Christmas is a wonderful time of year and, for many, begins when they hear a Salvation Army brass band playing.This year, I am delighted to be celebrating Christmas with a concert of songs and readings at the awe-inspiring and beautiful St George’s Hall.

“I am looking forward to celebrating the festive season with all our guests, trainees and the local community.” 

All proceeds from the concert will go towards both charities’ projects, Steps and Strawberry Field and The St George’s Hall Charitable Trust.

Claire Dove DL CBE, chair of the board of trustees of St George’s Hall, said: “It has always been my aim to build a strong connection with the communities that St George’s Hall serves, and so I am pleased and excited to be welcoming The Salvation Army’s Strawberry Field to celebrate Christmas at one of the city’s most inspiring cultural assets, in what I hope will become a permanent fixture on Liverpool’s Christmas calendar.”
