I can’t think of a better way to have spent my birthday other than attending The Actually Gay Men’s Chorus Christmas Concert, It’s Actually Christmas at St Andrews Church, Hove on Saturday, December 22 alongside the Deputy Lieutenant Hugh Burnett, Cllr Dee Simpson Mayor of Brighton and Hove and a church packed to the seams eager to hear the Christmas concert – the Star on the top of the proverbial tree of concerts in 2018.
