Christmas Playlist

Not a huge fan of Christmas music (I cannot be listening to it 24/7!). So I decided to post a bunch of tunes that I like by some artists that I have a bit of time for and have them in one place.

I hope if you have been reading and watching my blogs throughout the year you have found something that brought a smile to your face. Have a great Christmas and a blessed New Year.

Glen Matlock and the Philistines

Glen’s latest album, Born Running, recorded with his band The Philistines, offers up twelve more punchy and direct examples of Matlock’s innate ability to craft timeless, melodic rock songs. It has an added poignancy insofar as it features the last recordings of guitarist Steve New, one of Matlock’s oldest friends and fellow founder-member of The Rich Kids, who died in 2010. Also in the band’s line up is drummer Javier Weyler, the current drumming incumbent with The Stereophonics, as well as guitarist James Stevenson, who, like Matlock, is a musical survivor from the original School of ’76 British Punk Rock. The album was produced by Jim Lowe, who has produced numerous hugely successful albums for The Stereophonics. Born Running is the latest salvo from a musician and songwriter who is never satisfied with resting on his considerable musical achievements; there is much more to come from this hugely gifted individual.
