I finally got around to watching it last night on my PVR and after the lambasting it got on here I wasn't expecting to enjoy it,but I did. Bellowhead were their usual exellent selves, but it doesn't work as well on TV (you have to feel the Bellowhead sound). The Unthanks bleak midwinter was as bad as I expected, I'm always dissapointed by them, I feel I ought to like them cos Rachael can sing o.k. on her own, but it's this breathy over arty approach that kills it for me. Theo Gilmore never heard of, thought it was agood song & she's got a good voice. Never heard Lisa Knapp before, liked her version of Coventry carol if a bit high in the register & breathy for my taste at times. Jim Moray I thought did a good job, although he is someone who I don't normally get. I think Paul Sartin did an exellent job comparing. All in all a nice way to round off Xmas Eve.
Merry Xmas
