Richie Webb stars as Nigel Penny, a cocktail pianist whose entrepreneurial brother books him for gigs he doesn’t need. This time at the launch of an all-year-round Christmas store.
Richie Webb stars as performance-shy cocktail pianist Nigel Penny.
Nigel Penny’s attempts to live his life like his music, in the background, are constantly thwarted by his entrepreneurial half-brother Pav (Paul G Raymond) who is desperate to find gigs for Nigel and his musical partner, wannabe singer Rachel (Jess Robinson).
Pav is supplying the ambience to the opening of an all-year-round Christmas store. And by ‘ambience’ he basically means Nigel and Rachel singing carols. The ghosts of Christmas past mean this can only be an unpleasant experience for Nigel. This is compounded by Stan’s attempts at securing a tree, Marco’s suspect catering promises and the manager of the store who fancies herself as Letchington’s answer to Mariah Carey.
