Christmas

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

Jingle Bell Rock - Nat Casillan

This is a very festive cover of Shakin' Stevens' No. 1 Christmas 1985 hit: "Merry Christmas Everyone".

Shaky's original version was actually recorded to be released in 1984, but that was the year that Bob Geldof enlisted Midge Ure, along with near enough all of the big names in the British music charts of the time, to release "Do They Know It's Christmas?" as Band Aid, in order to raise money for famine relief in Ethiopia. Shaky's people decided it would be unlikely they would be able to compete with such a record, and that any sales they did make may cause detriment to the overall project, and so decided to put off the release until the following Christmas season.

This cover version was recorded in Autumn/Winter 2016, featuring myself on all instruments and vocals, with two exceptions. All saxophones have been skillfully played by Caitlin Laing, and the bass vocal in the last two verses was provided by Gregory Slobodian.

See if you can hear the ukelele after the key change!
