Being a West Midlands band with a singer with a strong Wolverhampton accent, we are always going to put Slade's Merry Xmas Everybody into the December set, that's a given. Great song to play.
We have ditched
Last Christmas this year in favour of:
Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) - We do the U2 version, corker of a tune. I think Darlene Love did the original?
Do They Know It's Christmas - Yes, the Band Aid song. After some debate, we stuck to the "famine" version not the new "Ebola" one...:/ Not my choice, and I could easily take or leave the verses, but the rousing FEEEEED THE WOOOOOORLD... bit is fun to holler along to.
So, what Christmas songs do you guys play?
And let's just take it as a given that some of you would rather die than be seen dead playing Christmas songs, and yes Bah Humbug etc etc.....
