Hello You.
This, then, is The Waiting Room Christmas Eve 3hr Best of 2008 Round-Up Show.
This took us AGES to compile from thousands of excellent songs listened to & playlisted over the whole of this past year. *PHEW* just does not cut it. 2008 was simply awash with brilliance, surprises, genius & plain old breathtaking musicalisation. (& singing).
A huge thank you, then, to all the bands, management, A&R & etc. what did send us musical things to consider for airing over these past 12 months.
Similarly, we must aim a special big Ta Very at Mr. Brendan Fitzpatrick (the once bassist of the classic Clem Snide line-up, which begat Rats With Wings, which begat Supercot) who done did do some interpretations of a couple of classic Christmas tunage & then sent the results to us. Two of his astonishingnesses top & tail the show as follows:
Top: Supercot – Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire
Tail: Supercot – Hark The Herald Angel
Cheers, La’.
