From ‘Fairytale of New York’ to ‘Driving Home For Christmas’ we all have our
favourite Christmas hit. The kind that swirls around our consciousness every
December…
However, once in a while a track comes along in the festive period to join the
likes of Wizard, Chris Rea, Mariah Carey and the mighty Slade!
‘When Christmas Begins’ the new single from Sheffield based crooner Jack T
Harper pays homage to some of the greatest Christmas hits of the past 80
years, whilst featuring references to what people truly associate with
Christmas.
Listeners of ‘When Christmas Begins’ are taken on a whistle stop festive
journey, and a familiar Christmas favourite, Noddy Holder has come on board to
show his support to Jack and his festive single.
Upon hearing ‘When Christmas Begins’ Noddy (who had one of the greatest ever
Christmas songs with Slade’s ‘Merry Xmas Everybody’) proclaimed “A very
atmospheric song. I’m a sucker for a good melody and a clever lyric. I’m still
sussing out all the historic messages from past Christmas songs”.
There’s an amazing game that listeners of ‘When Christmas Begins’ can play, to
see how many Christmas references they can hear in the track…. The more you
you hear the track the more references can be heard.
