I have loved this whole Christmas series, but that Neville tune is the icing on my Buche de Noel, and has now become a part of my own Christmas playlist. Thanks, Thom, and Merry Merry Christmas! 🙂

Auden is one of my favourite poets, and Aaron one of my favourite vocalists. Now I am going to have to listen to ‘Tell It Like It Is’ for the millionth time! 🙂
Thanks, Thom.
Best wishes, Pete.
