Curveballs Christmas - December 20th 2007

Christmas eh? When you’ve got the kind of busy life that I’ve got, stuff like Christmas can seem like just another obstacle on a rather long course! Despite this, however, I was happy to let some Yuletide spirit loose on the show in a Curveballs style, by mixing some of our favourite musical discoveries of the year with a selection of new seasonal singles from the likes of the Manics and Reuben, not to mention some older tracks you wouldn’t find being overplayed in the shops! Have a great Christmas and don’t forget to tune in on the 27th for a round-up of all the best guests and sessions we’ve had during the year!
