Our Take
Our Take
In their latest offering, One For The Road, the Albion Christmas Band delivers a festive feast guaranteed to put a spring in your step and a jingle in your jangle. This collection of traditional folk tunes and original compositions is a delightful romp through the winter wonderland of English Christmas carols and seasonal melodies.
From the hearty vocals to the spirited instrumentation, the Albion Christmas Band prove once again why they are the kings (and queens) of Yuletide cheer. The harmonies are as tight as Santa's belt, and the musicianship is as crisp as freshly fallen snow. Tracks like “The Holly and The Ivy” and “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” are given a merry makeover, breathing new life into old classics.
But it's not all mince pies and mulled wine. The band also showcases their songwriting prowess with heartfelt originals like “Bethlehem,” which tells the nativity story with a fresh perspective. Their ability to blend tradition with innovation is truly something to behold.
Overall, One For The Road is a festive frolic that will have you dancing around the Christmas tree in no time. So grab your Santa hat, pour yourself a glass of eggnog, and let the Albion Christmas Band soundtrack your holiday season. After all, as the saying goes, 'tis the season to be jolly! Merry Christmas, one and all.
