EclecTea in Brighton is the place to be the weekend before Christmas for some festive fun. 

The tapas bar and restaurant is hosting their annual Christmas Carols with Tony Dee and Friends. 

Singer Tony Dee said it was a great event, which he looked forward to each year. 

“Last year was a mix of Christmas carols and my usual swinging music from the Rat Pack era,” he said. 

“People came in for drinks or dinner and I was singing most of the time. 

“Later on, there were a few other people there who were also singers and they joined in at various times. People in the crowd can sing along too or not – no pressure. 

“It was really relaxed and happy.” 

A Festive Sing-Along at EclecTea

Christmas fans are invited to have a few drinks and something to eat at EclecTea and there are song lyrics available to download as well if they’re keen on singing along. 

EclecTea event manager Kara said last year’s event “filled up very quickly”. 

“It’s run as a bit of a casual sing-along style event, but I think we had more than 100 people in throughout the evening, so I would definitely recommend booking,” she said.
