Christmas show on London Fields Radio

24 December 2010
By Lynn Roberts

In all the Christmas album hoopla, I’d almost forgotten to tell y’all a bout our Christmas radio show. I recorded it last week in sludgey Hackney with Bitter Fingers presenter and generally nice chap Mark Higgins.

We delved into the world of Christmas music, with songs by Bob Dylan, EELS, Laura Marling and Dolly Parton, while Brian the-mixtape-making-owl presents his playlist ‘The Goose Is Getting Fat’.

Click below to listen. And Merry blimmin Christmas!
