seven swans

this time last year those nice chaps over at Fika recordings were doing their advent calendar... thought you might like to hear (and download) the seven tunes, just in case you missed 'em:


It’s 7th December, so why not sit back and tuck into SEVEN SWANS – the wiaiwya selection box, a CELEBRATION for HEROES on QUALITY STREET…

First up let’s unwrap the caramel swirl of David Tattersall, with a beautiful instrumental blues hymn, YES! Jesus Loves Me... and then, because they’re moreish, the peanut cracknell of Jeff Mellin playing a South Carolina Spiritual, Ain’t That A Rockin All Night... World of Fox and Clair Horton will have you chewing on the toffee penny, a gold wrapper for their cover of the Waitresses’ Xmas Wrappin’... next up the Werewandas are the purple one, these rockin’ boys and girls Love You Santa Claus... what’s in the blue wrapper?, ah, yes, it’s the coconut eclair of Liverpool’s Meow Meow, desperate for a film they haven’t seen This Christmas... we’re nearing the end of today’s treats, but there’s always room for Coming Soon, and the vanilla fudge of Last Christmas and saved for last, the strawberry creme of Clemence Freschard, but sadly she’s had a Bad Year...

Make sure you don’t put the empty wrappers back in the tin, and hope the Christmas shopping is going well… thanks to all the bands and Darren & Tom for having us along…
