casapete Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Last few years we've done 'Please come home for Christmas' (Charles Brown/Eagles/BonJovi). I've done 'Run Rudolph run' (Chuck/Keef) too, little known but fits our band/audience well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulWarning Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 fairytale in new york, don't you need a male and female singer for that?, to do it justice anyway. We're doing Slade this year, although I quite like doing Gary Glitter's another rock and roll christmas, at least you don't hear it a lot on the radio lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_the_bass Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 We did a, verging on death, metal arrangement of Frosty th Snowman. It went down really well. We were also working on a similar style arrangement of walking in the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary mac Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 At last nights gig we stuck the Slade one in during the encores. I enjoy that bass line. A couple of weeks back we rehearsed a mash up of Wizard and Slade, so that will be getting an outing over the next few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
