Alfie Boe performs ‘Hark! The Herald Angels Sing’ with 200 lucky Amazon customers e-reading carols at world’s first ever carol service by Kindlelight, hosted by Steve Jones at London’s famous Abbey Road Studios. Carols by Kindlelight will be made available exclusively for Amazon’s millions of Prime members through Prime Instant Video at 7.00pm on Friday, December 12. Amazon hosted Carols by Kindlelight, the first carol concert of its kind where the audience e-read carols at London’s famous Abbey Road Studios. In attendance were Grammy, Academy and Brit Award-winning and Multi-Platinum singer-songwriter Annie Lennox; the nation’s favourite tenor Alfie Boe; queen of Rockabilly Imelda May; million-selling sporting soprano Laura Wright; 6 x Platinum-selling New Zealand opera trio Sol3 Mio and the No.1 selling classical vocal ensemble VOCES8. Laura Wright opened last night’s show with ‘Hallelujah’, followed by Annie Lennox taking to the stage to lead the choir in ‘See Amid The Winter’s Snow’ and ‘God Bless The Child’. Other popular Christmas hits included ‘Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas’, ‘Step Into Christmas’ and ‘Let It Go’ from the smash-hit movie Frozen. The concert was closed by a rousing rendition of ‘Baby Please Come Home’ by Imelda May. See below for the set-list in full. Also appearing last night were concert host Steve Jones (US X Factor, T4, Let's Dance for Comic Relief) and MyAnna Buring from Amazon’s Ripper Street, reading passages written by students from East London Arts & Music (ELAM), a new industry academy for 16-19 year olds. Customers selected to attend the event received a Kindle Paperwhite to e-read carols during the concert and then take home after the event. Using the Paperwhite display, the 200 audience members illuminated Abbey Road Studios in a way never seen before. Kindle Paperwhite used by the artists have been donated to East London Arts & Music (ELAM).
