The amazingly talented and versatile international singer Jonathan Veira, with the most beautiful voice, is coming to St Michael’s on Friday 2 December, as part of his Unlockdown Sessions
During the 2020-2021 lockdown he lifted spirits every Sunday night with a live concert from his lounge and he now brings the ‘Unlockdown’ sessions live.
Jonathan is essentially a musical chameleon – performing songs of great diversity to an incredibly high standard – which quite possibly makes him unique in the world of entertainment.
‘…better than anyone else in the UK’
Indeed – ‘…better than anyone else in the UK’ is how As The Stage recently described him. From Billy Joel to Mozart and everything in-between – nothing seems too hard for him!
Ballads, blues, rock n roll, jazz and even opera – everything sounds completely authentic and exhilarating.
Accompanying himself on the piano with amazing dexterity, his glorious singing of his songs frequently moves people to tears and then they find themselves weeping with laughter at his tales!
Undeniably sensational
The Sunday Express called him sensational and Jonathan Veira’s show is undeniably sensational because you get so much more than just ‘the voice’.
He is a superb comic raconteur, whose anecdotal story-telling has people of all generations laughing helplessly. When did you last see young and old rocking with laughter together?
Every year we take part in Operation Christmas Child – making up for shoeboxes of gifts for children worldwide. This is the world’s largest children’s Christmas project and is run by Samaritans Purse. It’s a great way to show God’s love in a tangible way to help needy children.
Click here for information on how to pack a shoebox . We also have leaflets available in Church and St Michael’s Centre, as well as some flat pack boxes ( first come first served on the boxes)
And you can also find out more on the Operation Christmas Child Website.
Tougher import regulations mean no toothpaste, chocolate or sweets as shoebox gifts. Let’s think creatively by adding other fun toys, school supplies and hygiene items that a child will love. You can now include knitted items and 4 suited playing cards. More ideas here

Please drop off your boxes in church or St Michael’s Centre ready for collection by Sunday 20 November.
