Golden Years: Christmas Throughout The Years

Thu 26th Dec '24, 3:00pm

 In 'Our Twelve Songs of Christmas', we look back at eighty years of Yuletide hits, featuring a diverse range of artists, including Bing Crosby and Benny Hill!

My daughter came along to ELFM first. When I realised what a good time she was having I thought I want a bit of that so I joined up too. Now I’ve got my own music show with loads of guests and live sessions. It’s a real buzz.

The show is descended from a lineage of political theatre-makers from Andrea Dunbar to Cardboard Citizens, dramatising a social issue and revealing the structural forces at play.
