Well I really enjoyed - (well most of it!) It would have been nice to have some other less well know carols - eg some of the wonderful Sheffield settings of While Shephers Watched. It was a change - and a pleasure - to hear an unaccompanied song- well sung by Jon and Sam. I though Bellowhead were their exuberant selves, and very good, as were Balshazars Feast -I also liked Jim Moray's excellent contribution - but did not like Lisa K- and really disliked the Unthanks - never have liked them and this confirmed my opinion. But overall - a jolly romp - and at least it was in prime time telly for a change.
