Perico in Santa City Dress-Up


With loud guffaws of "perico-ho-ho", that zany group of Brunswick musicians, Perico, took to the streets yesterday, delivering Christmas cheer to all and sundry, dressed in Santa costumes.


"It's really great to be able to walk around the city streets without being recognised and harassed." explained Santa Gartland.


"We were just ignored by everyone. I guess that at this time of the year we just blended in with everyone else."


Perico, who yesterday performed such wacky versions of popular Christmas Carols as "Violent Night" a song about hanging out in Queen Street on a Saturday evening, vowed to steer clear of such renditions at their Saturday evening performance at the Retreat.


"We might sing 'Jingle Bells, Richo smells' , though" said Col.
