Our Take

Ah, it's that time of year again when the air is filled with the sound of bells and carols, and what better soundtrack to accompany the festive season than JOHN KIRKPATRICK's delightful album "Carolling And Crumpets."

From the first track, Kirkpatrick's trademark accordion playing will transport you to a quaint English village where the locals are sipping mulled wine and dancing around the maypole. The traditional carols are given a fresh twist, with lively arrangements that are sure to have even the biggest Scrooge tapping their toes.

But it's not just the classics that shine on this album – Kirkpatrick also treats us to a selection of lesser-known gems that showcase his virtuosity on the concertina. Tracks like "The Boar's Head Carol" and "The Holly and the Ivy" are given new life with Kirkpatrick's playful and inventive arrangements.

The festive spirit is truly alive in every note of "Carolling And Crumpets," and it's impossible not to feel a warm glow in your heart as you listen. So grab a cup of tea, cosy up by the fire, and let JOHN KIRKPATRICK's enchanting music bring some joy and merriment to your holiday season. Cheers to carolling and crumpets!
