about

Bloxham Tapes BT27

“I'm not crazy. It's Christmas Eve! It's the one night of the year when we all act a little nicer, we smile a little easier, we cheer a little more. For a couple of hours out of the whole year, we are the people that we always hoped we would be!”

Season's greetings from festive philosopher Frank Cross, played by the mighty Bill Murray, at the end of 1988's classic Christmas movie ‘Scrooged’. Without a hint of irony, this corny speech at the end of a daft festive film brings tears to the eyes of the hard-working head elves at Bloxham Tapes HQ every year. You might even say it sleighs us. Well, it's that or the sherry – and if that doesn’t explain why we’ve made a Bloxham Christmas album, nothing will.

A gigantic thank you with sleigh bells on to the extended Bloxham Tapes family for channelling this holiday spirit and contributing this sensational selection of seasonal songs that capture the complexity of this time of year.

Drifting synth melodies evoking warm inner sanctums (DOUSING); a baritone guitar reinterpretation of a Christmas favourite (ANDREW DR ABBOTT) and a haunting reworking of a classic English carol (ALISON COTTON) are just a few of the sonic gifts tucked away under the tree, awaiting discovery. 'A Bloxham Christmas' is a diverse collection of works that not only celebrate the levity of this season but also peer into its pools of darkness, as sun is replaced by flickering candlelight and we await the transition into the new year...

But back to Frank…. “It's a miracle, it's really, a sort of a miracle because it happens every Christmas Eve. And if you waste that miracle, you're gonna burn for it.”

Please remember: this Bloxham Tapes cassette is for life, not just for Christmas.
