featured place in Gib: St. Michael's Cave and a christmas charity concert

i really didnt know what i want this christmas so i just asked the mister if we could go to a christmas concert and listen to carols. he said of course and off we go! one of the reasons i picked this concert was because this was inside st. michael's cave, a very famous cave inside the Rock that sometimes serve as a venue for such events.the Rotary Club of Gibraltar sponsored this charity concert in aid of the Gibraltar Regiment Fund and the Calpe House Fund. so no wonder its infused with a bit of military music aside from the wonderful, wonderful carols the Gibraltar National Choir sang. the music was magical! the drum display was out of this world too! we loved every minute of it!we took photos with the renowned pianist Aaron Monteverde. what a talented man! i swear his fingers floated above the piano keys!also present was a 12-yr-old singing prodigy, Kate McCullough, who sang a very beautiful "Time To Say Goodbye" by Andrea Boccelli. we met her outside while we were waiting for the show to start and we chatted a bit about my camera which suddenly took darker pictures than normal. little did we know at that time that she was one of the performers :D
so after the show we asked if we can have a photo taken with her :D she's such a darling girl! definitely going places with a voice like that :D good luck Kate!
during the intervals, some people took out wine and food (like sausages!) and just enjoyed themselves while singing along the carols being played :D what a fun time!
