Above and Beyond Christmas Concert

The seventh annual Christmas Concert organised by Above & Beyond, the charity that raises funds for the United Bristol Hospitals Trust, was held in Bristol Cathedral and attended by staff, volunteers, patients and their families together with HM Lord-Lieutenant Mrs Peaches Golding and her husband Bob.  The celebratory concert recognised the importance of funds raised by the charity provide the latest equipment, support innovative research and kit out improved hospital environments for staff and patients.  With BBC Breakfast Show presenter Emma Britton leading the event, the audience sang Christmas carols and was treated to festive songs from the Above & Beyond Choir, the St Ursula's E-Act Academy Choir and the Blown Away! Wind Band.  Poignant memories from patients and staff reminded the audience of the life-saving work of the clinicians and the end of life services available to some.
