Christmas is never really that far away….

Quality Street: A Seasonal Selection For All The Family, a twinkling blend of traditional hymns, forgotten gems and Lowe originals. From the opening rockabilly-charged Children Go Where I Send Thee and the comfy hush of Christmas Can’t Be Far Away, the record includes the beatnik bop of Hooves on the Roof (written especially for the project by Ron Sexsmith), Roger Miller’s wistful classic Old Toy Trains, before wrapping up with a ska-flavoured take on I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day. Nick describes this album as, “a sleigh bell-free zone.”
