Curveballs Christmas Special - with Phone A Friend 3

So here we are at the last Curveballs of 2008 – a busy show for the busy year we’ve had. We spoke to Dan from station favourites The Tibetan Tea Company (click here to listen) and looked ahead to gigs happening over the festive period with a few tracks performed live in the studio during the year. All this was, of course, interspersed with a clutch of Christmas songs you wouldn’t have heard in the shops several [hundred] times during the last month and a bit. (Thanks to Ten tigers’ Emma for the Very Cherry Christmas tracks – CD available from www.cherryademusic.co.uk.)
