Organised by the carols committee, musical director Jaclyn Sloane led a band consisting of six local musicians ranging in age from 13 up.

Opening the performance was acoustic duo Ellie and Steve, who have just moved to Bermagui from Guatemala, and who performed Christmas tunes in both Spanish and English.

Ms Sloane said the performances were great and the turn-out was fantastic too with “loads of kids” and a much wider cross section of the community than just the church groups.
