First off this is a year round website, second off you'll, of course recognise all of the above musicians, they've all appeared in one version or another of The Albion Band(s), and third off.......well, welcome to a website that has been along time in coming. The Albion Christmas Band has been together for four now, four years, two very wonderful records and alot of incredible and fun gigs under the collective belt and we thought we'd add our own few pence worth to the overall picture. You'll find lyrics to the songs, observations of the season, including, at the very end, Charles Dickens' absolutely charming short story, A Christmas Tree, of which, somewhere about is a recording of Ashley Hutchings reading from the said story.
The Albion Christmas Band will be on tour again in December. The group features the combined talents of Ashley Hutchings, Kellie While, Simon Care and Simon Nicol. It is the perfect way to start your Christmas, with festive songs, carols, music and humorous asides. Make sure you book your tickets early as this tour has sold out for the last four years
note: the brand new Albion Christmas Band CD, Snow on Snow, will be released on the 10th November 2008, pre-order your copy at Talking Elephant Records
Sam and Lizzie would like to send out massive thanks to Ashley Hutchings and Talking Elephant Records for recognising this website (we think of ourselves, now, as sort of unofficially official) and for providing a link to this site from the Talking Elephant Records website. Thanks for all the music, Ashley, it's been a wonderful forty some-odd years.
A MERRY ALBION CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL !
