Here it is, my Xmas No. One! No, I don't mean that this album is going to challenge Abba, Elton, Cliff or whoever else is contention for the seasonal top spot - it's too good for that. No, it's just the first of what I'm sure will soon be an avalanche of Yulies and, if they're half as good as this then you won't hear any Bah Humbugs from me!
Hendelman is no stranger to BSH I have reviewed many of his albums in various settings, usually with Hamilton, and have yet to be disappointed.
A choice selection of tunes, both familiar and otherwise, that are given a swinging work out with n'er a reindeer in sight.
Eartha Kitt may no longer be with us but although songstresses the world over will be donning their abbreviated Santa suits to take her place this instrumental version of Santa Baby will take some beating.
Not an album to share with the relatives and their offspring whilst slicing up a murdered turkey but one to save for when they've all (except one if you're lucky) gone home ...
