Time for one more Isolation session before the year is out. No ordinary seasonal selection this one. I’ve tried to capture the strangeness of this year’s festivities with a slightly off-kilter Christmas of collection of songs – some heart-warming, others covers of Yuletide classics, plus a couple of emotional curve balls thrown in for good measure. The perfect accompaniment to your eggnog and soundtrack to your annual family bust up. Enjoy x
