The guy in the hat and other warm, musical things

Several bands formed of numerous BA music students performed at one of the Uni Wintershow gigs tonight at LPAC. It's a top venue with a high fabness sound system and a lush lighting and projection rig. Jazz, folk and funk sounds from the shy to the show-offy diverse performers. Guitars of every persuasion, cellos, drums, flutes, keyboards, harp and eventually the biggest  saxaphone imaginable from which came a satisfyingly unearthly honk that shook everyone's bones. But t'was the singer in the santa hat who stole the show, his easy grace, and proper good vocal ability.  At one point the funk groove got so good I thought about getting to my feet to dance but there wasn't enough room down at the front of the stage and so just boggled about in my seat annoying those in the immediate vicinity instead.
