We're into the busiest fortnight of the year for DepList, and this year seems crazier than ever. Bookings are coming in at the rate of several per day, and if you're a tenor who is still free on Christmas Eve for Midnight Mass, you've either been abroad or asleep.
I reckon we're busier at this season than during Holy Week. Paradoxically, Christmas, despite its name, is now a pagan, or non-religious, or multi-denominational festival just as much as it is a Christian one — a time of celebration for everyone with or without religious affiliations. Most people like to hear singers around a tinsel-adorned fir tree, cheering us up in the bleak midwinter. There are definitely more opportunities for singers than at Easter, what with company dinners, parties and pantos. When did you last hear of a corporate establishment throwing an Easter Party for its staff and hiring a bunch of singers to sing Easter carols?
We hope DepList can help you find that last-minute replacement for an ailing singer or organist at what is also the busiest time of year for viruses.
