Acoustic Christmas

Here we’ve put together some of our favourite carols and songs. Played as instrumentals, arranged simply and mostly stripped back.

Christmas means different things to all of us. Excitement, presents, Christmas stocking, giving and sharing, family times, friends, happy times and sometimes deep sadness. Christmas trees, the Queen’s speech, office parties, even Top of the Pops……and Christmas carols and music – the soundtrack to Christmas. Building up like a crescendo becoming more and more frenetic as the ‘big day’ approaches. From every shop, in every street, café and meeting place we hear our ‘favourite’ songs and carols.

And then sometimes we press the pause button. That tune that sticks in our head, those words tumbling around our mind. Music has a way of doing that, of toughing our emotions and throwing us off track. And perhaps in the business that can be Christmas this music may in some way be helping us to come closer to the underlining Christmas message. The enduring message of hope, love, joy and peace celebrated in the birth of Jesus Christ.

We hope you enjoy what we have put together, we certainly had fun making it.

With thanks to; Phil (I think we could do that one more time) Goss at Appletree Studio for guiding us, producing this CD and adding various backing. To Ed & Alexandra Hewitt for violin, piano, keyboards and oboe, it was great to work with you. To our family and friends who have endured endless Christmas carols…. even in the heat of summer!
