  • Description

    The Albion Christmas Band evolved from special seasonal shows by the last incarnation of the Albion Band fronted by Ashley Hutchings (Fairport Convention/Steeleye Span).

    The band are Simon Nicol, Kellie While, Simon Care and Ashley Hutchings. Their annual Christmas shows feature seasonal songs and tunes smattered with humorous readings and the occasional silly dance. Described in The Guardian as "the perfect antidote to the corporate xmas" they are now in their 25th year selling out such venues as The Sage, Gateshead, The New Vic, Newcastle-u-Lyme and Buxton Opera House and this special 25th Anniversary compilation chosen by the band themselves and will play many of the songs featured on this years tour.
