Festive Fundraising Tune of the Day # 1: The Coventry Carol
Channel: Howard Lake
Date: 01/12/2020

If you enjoyed Fundraising Tune of the Day, which I began during the lockdown of Spring 2020 in the wake of COVID19, welcome to the inevitable Christmas album!

We're in lockdown again, the afternoons are dark, and it's cold. So what better response than to listen to some Christmas tunes - traditional carols, Christmas pop songs and anything else with a festive element - performed by charity fundraisers.

It's truly an open Advent - if you'd like to perform a Christmas tune and add a short fundraising tip to it, you'll bring some pleasure to many.

I've started things off on the first day of December. My choice is The Coventry Carol, the simplicity of which I believe makes it almost the quintessential Christmas carol.

My fundraising tip is definitely of the glass-half-full variety. Find out about the tierce de Picardie, or the Picardy third, and why we as fundraisers should embrace that in our appeals.

Do subscribe to hear the next festive tunes: we have some fantastic performances lined up.

And we're looking for me. So do get in touch if you're interested. Any level of performance is welcome - instrumental, vocal, spoken word or perhaps other formats too!
