WHAT better way to kick off Christmas than with a festive music extravaganza to get you in the mood.

Tickets have gone on sale for A Christmas Music Celebration and organisers are hoping for a full house.

Chris Wesson, from Great Sounds, which is presenting the evening, says: "We have David Rhodes performing who is very well known around the area for his singing in various venues.

"We also have flautist Anna Stokes. Every Christmas tune you have ever heard of from Holy Night to 12 days of Christmas will be performed and it will be a really great evening of entertainment."

All the songs will be performed by local artists with guest opera celebrities Catherine Martin and Steven Holloway.

The evening, at the Chalfont St Peter Community Centre on December 14, will include a supper and all the festive fun they can throw at you.
