A Very Musical Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone!

It's been an extremely musical Christmas over on Facebook this year. Lots of our friends have been recording and posting awesome Christmas songs and in the absence of a Moon & River Christmas Concert, we decided to record our own little Christmas song too.



We thought we'd do a run down of all the excellent Christmas tracks our friends have been posting too.

First up, Kaley Ukulele recorded a Christmas album for her Niece. Matt and Tom played banjo, mandolin and bass on it and Dave added vocals and mixed it. It comes highly recommended!



Second up, our good friend Naomi Black from Chasing Owls recorded a gorgeous version of 'Away in a Manger' with just vocals and harmonium. It's awesome, go listen!



The brilliant and all round Edinburgh institution, the Banana Sessions have an excellent original Christmas song called 'Don't Loose Your Mind (It's Christmas Time)'. Incidentally, they're doing a concert in Pivo Pivo, Glasgow on the 30th December. If you haven't seen them yet (you probably have if you live in Edinburgh) it's well worth it!



We're lucky enough to have played with Washington Irving a couple of times now, they're amazing. They've recorded an awesome rustic sounding Christmas EP on an old tape deck.



That's as much as we know of for now - but let us know if you've heard something awesome that you think should be included.
