Our Christmas Party
Wed, Dec 9th 2015 at 7:00 pm - 10:30 pm
Our Christmas celebrations with entertainment by the "Hot Bananas"
More about Hot Bananas and their founder Jacqui Pygott from the Jersey Evening Post Nominations for Community Champion of the year 2015.
WHEN Jacqui Pygott founded the Hot Bananas singing group four years ago there were 12 singers.
Today she has more than 100 who meet every week to sing and enjoy themselves.
Liz Bird, who nominated Miss Pygott as a Community Champion, said she wanted to show the group’s appreciation and recognition for the joy and pleasure she has brought to so many people.
Hot Bananas are a diverse group from all walks of life and all ages, who as well as singing, raise money for charities, including Teenage Cancer Trust and the Grace Trust.
Their chosen charity in 2015 is Jersey Women’s Refuge.
‘Nothing stops her, not even a broken arm,’ said Mrs Bird.
‘She is determined we get our weekly musical therapy, and therapy is exactly what it is – a chance for us to have some unadulterated “me time” to forget about the chaotic and often stressful lives we lead and just lose ourselves in song.
‘For many it is the highlight of the week.
'The pleasure we all get from getting together and singing our hearts out is immeasurable, and it is only possible because of Jacqui, her time, dedication and her amazing musical talent.’
