UK end of life charity Marie Curie spread festive cheer with an emotional choir performance at one of its hospices for patients, nurses, and staff. Actor, producer, and Strictly Come Dancing star, Greg Wise, led the performance from a choir, coinciding with the hospice’s first Christmas lunch since pre-pandemic two years ago.
With a personal connection to Marie Curie after the charity supported him and his sister when she was diagnosed with terminal cancer, the ex-Strictly star was delighted to perform to the team at the Marie Curie Hospice, Hampstead, in addition to serving lunch alongside senior management.
The special visit included a host of carols and festive hits sung by The Big Gospel choir including Jingle Bells, Deck the Halls, and We Wish You a Merry Christmas, thanking nurses and staff for their hard work throughout the year. As well as nurses and staff, the choir also performed to patients, including Gerry Finn, 56 from London. Gerry said: ‘I’ve always loved a choir; I like the homely vibe’.
