KATE RITCHIE AND GRANT DENYER SHARE THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT AGAIN THIS YEAR AT WOOLWORTHS CAROLS IN THE DOMAIN

Grant Denyer and Kate Ritchie will team up again to host this year's Woolworths Carols In The Domain. Now in its 27th year, the much loved Christmas event will be beamed around Australia from Sydney's Domain, on Saturday December 19, at 8.30pm.

Kate and Grant step into the hosting roles, for the third consecutive year.

Grant says of being on the Carols stage: "It simply is the most breathtaking view you could ever imagine. The joy of one hundred thousand people singing their little souls out is electric. The candles and glowing faces are like a milky way of happiness. The sound is a symphony of joy. I may race V8 Supercars at over 300kmh but this experience softens the hardest tough men."

Kate adds: "It is incredibly beautiful....thousands upon thousands of glowing candles. The first year I stepped onto that stage I was completely overwhelmed. There is an incredible feeling of unity on the night. The Carols make everyone stop and enjoy the Christmas spirit. It is such an honour to host."

Some of the artists appearing on the Carols stage will be Adam Brand, Kasey Chambers, Leo Sayer, Georgie Parker, the cast of Wicked the Musical, Australia's Got Talent winner Mark Vincent, The McClymonts and The Wiggles.  More names - including international artists - will be announced over the coming weeks.

Woolworths Carols In The Domain brings Australians together to celebrate the songs and spirit of Christmas. It also provides crucial support to The Oasis Youth Support Network, The Salvation Army's response to youth homelessness.
