Christmas Carols
There is a programme on BBC4 tonight at 7pm until 8pm titled:
"The Truth About Chrismas Carols "
"Howard Goodall looks at the turbulent history of festive hymns. "
My favourite Christmas Carol has to be Hark the Herald.
I always try to tune in for Carols from Kings every year as nearly always the last carol is Hark the Herald.
Your favourite Christmas Carols?

Hmmm, does Fairytale Of New York count?

I think John Swain was at University with one of these. Perhaps he'll confirm?

Re: Christmas Carols
I remember one year Cathy Forbes played at the Blackpool Chess Congress and our local paper thought it was Carol Vorderman instead
I suppose the footballers Andy Carroll and Karel Poborsky don't count.

Re: Christmas Carols
I'm disappointed by the lack of Carol identification. Are they that difficult Simon ?

Re: Christmas Carols
I'll leave it for 12 hours or so and see if anyone else can ID them.

Re: Christmas Carols
Should have had Karol Wojtyła in there, surely?
