Videos: ‘Santa Santa!’ – Full Orchestral Playthrough
Yes I know it’s only November. I know we’ve only just had Hallowe’en. I know it’s only Bonfire Night today. But I’m going to start talking about Christmas, and if you’ve got a problem with that I have no sympathy whatsoever. Earlier this year I went down to the big city of London to play …
