lojo Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 (edited) This thread might die before it becomes relevant, but whilst entering a covers gig date into my calendar for december I began to wonder - Who will be the first BCer to play a christmas song live and on what date ?

Lozz196 Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 (edited) Well it`s unlikely to be me, though not for the want of trying Every time I try and get my fellow band-mates to larn this, they conveniently "forget". I mean, a Christmas song by Thin Lizzy & The Sex Pistols, does it get any better? http://youtu.be/5Q1mKdd4_uU Edited October 30, 2011 by Lozz196 Quote
wateroftyne Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 *shameless plug* I'll be playing at least one on Nov 26th, breaking my usual embargo on anything Christmassy outside of December. Quote
Mykesbass Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 We're going to rehearse a couple tomorrow night ready for a gig on December 23rd (singer's off on holiday for a few weeks hence the early start). Quote
KevB Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 We were offered a Dec 24th gig but we knew we'd end up having to learn a load of crappy xmas songs just for one night (I know the Slade one but that's it for me) so we politely turned it down. Quote
lojo Posted October 31, 2011 Author Posted October 31, 2011 Looks like its 26th of Nov by WOT to beat, not sure if thats winning or losing though Quote

Chris2112 Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 Luckily I've managed to avoid Christmas songs being on the setlist this Christmas. The earliest I've done was Saviour's Day by Cliff Richard, mid November. Quote
LemonCello Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 Were doing a gig at the BBC in Cardiff on the 23rd December. One Christmas song will feature - Yes you guessed it - Slade! It has a seriously enjoyable walking bass line for those unfamiliar! LC Quote
