The Cottesloe Civic Centre Gardens are a great venue for just about everything. The Carols by Candlelight that's been running for a decade or so has become overwrought.
First of all there's the "candlelight". The risk of burning picnic blankets and hot wax burns must have the council lawyers in a lather because on entry one is issued with a thing that represents a candle. It is actually a torch. Thousands of these bits of plastic with a battery will be binned over the next few days as they cease functioning.
Then there's the amplification. In the end it's only the "choir" singing because no-one else can hear themselves think.
