Katzenjammer, Ben Caplan & The Trondheim Soloists

Postby Mike Bracchi » 29 Oct 2013 01:41

Well folks, Christmas is just around the corner once again - so to put you in the mood to post your festive performances I have posted a stunning performance of the Fairytale Of New York by Norway's Katzenjammer (the best girl band on the planet), Ben Caplan (the singing beard), and, also from Norway, The Trondheim Soloists (one of the coolest 'ensembles' of string players performing on the international stage today)

If this doesn't make the hairs on your neck stand-up then nothing will :D :D

Enjoy .....

Hi there I have played from the age of 13 and all my music is played in a sort of dance tempo style. Have worked in nearly all the North East clubs over the years. That gave me a good grounding. Cheers.

Thanks for the video Mike. One of my favourite Christmas songs and they do a decent version of it. Still prefer the original Pogues with Kirsty MacColl :) It's great to get your head around too, with 5 different time signatures in the song.
