Doorstep Carols is a nationwide event with cathedral choirs and professional singers leading the nation in song. The initiative works with BBC local radio stations, streaming to schools, hospital wards, care-homes, and communities around the country with the aim of warding off isolation at Christmas.

In support of this year’s national event, Sir Tim Rice said: "I hope that the singing en masse will remind us all that music, especially vocals, can bring everyone together whether in unison or harmony. We must not let recent troubles make us fearful of using our voices".

Blue Apple’s Engagement Coordinator Rebecca Godden took time out of her busy schedule to add her voice to the Doorstep Carols on Wednesday 15 December, saying: “What a pleasure it was to sing festive tunes in the beautiful backdrop of Winchester Cathedral and bring people together once again through song and joy in Doorstep Carols.”

Rebecca has arranged for the Blue Apple Singers to perform outside at Pavilion on the Park’s Christmas Lantern Trail in Eastleigh this Sunday 19 December 4-7pm. We hope you will come and enjoy their singing. See more details here.
