I’ve got their version of Auld Lang Syne on 12" which is dreadful
That lead me down the rabbit hole to this
WHich is not remotely Christmas but what a tune and video
I remember hearing it on the radio when I was an exchange student in France, assumed it was contemporary
This is a great mix from a few years ago:
Listen to BILL BREWSTER Presents FUNKY CHRISTMAS 2017 by Bill Brewster on #SoundCloud
Christmasy and spooky, well it put the right willies up me as a boy!
Does anybody know of any balearic christmas songs?
this is such a groove
very very classy choon
I reckon Little Town by Cliff Richard nudges into that kind of territory
1 hour chistmas music that isn’t shit (DL link available, PM)
Xmas dub style
In my rush to denigrate Christmas I actually forgot I do have some favourite Christmas songs

Jona Lewie - Stop the Cavalry was actually the first record I bought, which whilst an anti-war song and not a pre-meditated Christmas song, it gets wheeled out every year and references Christmas. I just read the Wiki and the only reason it didn’t make Christmas #1 was because two John Lennon singles beat it to #1 and #2 due to the fact he got shot in December, so it actually made #3 in the Xmas chart which under the circumstances is as good as anyone could do I guess.
Then there is this diamond
I’ve also go this on a 7" (part of a job lot rather than a conscious decistion but it’s a keeper )

I actually really like the flip of the Jona Lewie, Laughing Tonight.
here’s one from my youth - i’d say it aged better than expected. i don’t go for all that christ-y shit but this is pretty nice.
