Thread: Crackling Christmas Carols

Found this yesterday in my YT feed. Two birds with one stone!

(Good thing I watch the new Spitting Image & BBC so I know most of the politicians featured.)

^Very political Katie

Lets keep it clean at crimbo

2 Good versions of Mary Did You Know

The PTX v The Sizzling Cimorellis





A timely carol for the election year

'The dumb will speak'

and 'The dead will walk again'

^Nice one Dave

Another tremblingly topper accapella rendition of the majestic Adeste Fideles here...



A crumbly crimbles to all the TeakDoor faithful

God bless us everyone

Those well dressed mormons don't half know how to bang out a tune



God bless their little hearts

(those are surely gods very own organ pipes at the back - look at the size of those monsters)

Soul Cake from Sting's 'If on a Winters Night' album which is a warm and mellow Christmas listen I have been spinning since it came out 10 years ago

Is that from the 'What A Massive Cock' boxed set?

He also does one of my very favourite carols on that album - The Coventry carol - without which no Christmas Carols thread can be complete



It has a wonderfully medieval rhythm and harmony so it is no surprise that the Medieval Baebes also do it on their Christmas album



And a very spooky echoey cathedrally version from a church choir

The opening track on Sting's album is also a lesser known but very mellow yule log smolderer of basque origins - Gabriel's Message



and a traditional choir rendition



Those cherubic dudes are wearing the exact same costume I used to wear to Midnight Mass to swing my thurible

You have been a very naughty boy this year sizzle and if you want to find any presents in your stockings in the morning then Santa says your penance is to watch this entire yootyoob from beginning to end



No cheating Santa is watching you

1:30:46 and not a second less

If you are not ahead of the game like Mendip and still have to sort out the stuffing on the big day then why not bang on a full length concert while you are running round the kitchen with with your hand up a turkey's arsehole

An eclectic bag of mixtures to be had here and safely wearing masks to remind you what year it is



These Mormons must have special heavenly protection from the virus and divine dispensation from mask-wearing as they are packed in like sardines here with nary face covered



(I did not know John Boy from the Waltons was a Mormon till I saw him compering)

The Piano Guys have a good Crimbo album and they recorded this jolly festive singalong

A young Greg Lake

I think this 2017 version of the same carol is even better. Those industrious little mormons have outdone themselves.



Spectacular tribute from the Tabernacle-bashers to the master of Christmas - Charles Dickens



I thought they had ripped the idea off the movie 'The Man Who Invented Christmas' but this production is from 2015, 2 years before the movie

Too much Christmas and too little time...



Why can't it be Christmas every 3 months?

Crimble connoisseurs know that The Mormon Tabernacle Nutters know how to bang out a boss Cringle Jingle and this year has proved no different

They usually post 2 or 3 30 minute concerts in December so I went to look on the tubes and see what was up

I was tingled and jingled to see a link saying 'LiveStream' with a flashing red button.

I clicked the link and there was a countdown to the first jingle jamboree of 2021 with just minutes to go, and before you could say 'polygamy' I was watching my first ever live stream from Temple Square.

The first tune is a 14th century carol which I had never heard before



Beautiful arrangement of 'Personent hodie - On this day earth shall ring' by the Mormon maestro Mack Willburg

Bragging about the size of your organ is considered poor form but it has to be said that the Tabernacle titan is a throbbing monster.

...^cult music...

The lovely Cheddar Trio doing a real-time Crimble concert live streaming now....

The one on the left!.

Farewell Jingle Bells to the fugliest rocker in town



My farmer's daughter first GF and myself considered this to be 'our song' a few decades ago

Acapella yuletide vibes



Nice festive dresses on the Celtic Laydeez

Haven't heard about Enya for a while



Hope her Orinocco is still flowing
