It’s a cold winter night A thousand stars are shining bright And there’s magic in the air It seems to sparkle everywhere And all the people are hurrying home To their loved ones in the warm And the children can hardly wait They’re singing hurryalong Rudolf don't make Santa be late This Christmas. Santa's in his sleigh, presents piled up high Racing across the sky Rudolf and Randolph, they won’t let him down They know they’ve got to deliver All across town It's a cold winter night A thousand stars are shining bright And there’s magic in the air It seems to sparkle everywhere And now the snow begin to fall Turn the whole world white like a great big snowball I take your hand tight in mine And the smile on your face says let's have a really good time This Christmas Santa's in his sleigh, presents piled up high Racing across the sky Rudolf and Randolf, they won’t let him down They know they’ve got to deliver All across town Yeah they’ve got to deliver They know they’ve got to deliver All across town, This Christmas

about

Brinsley Schwarz is set to release an original contribution to the Christmas canon. The critically-acclaimed Graham Parker and The Rumour guitarist and singer-songwriter will release the self-penned single ‘This Christmas’ on 3rd December via Fretsore Records. The song remembers Christmas songs of the fifties, with a touch of Donald Fagan.

The warm festive track is available to pre-order on 26th November and follows latest album ‘Tangled’, which received global praise on esteemed outlets from both sides of the Atlantic including Mojo, NPR and Uncut.

The heart-warming track will also be issued on limited edition CD single.

Says Brinsley....
“Well, it was one of those cold clear winter nights and the stars were shining bright. It gave me the idea for the song, so I wrote it down. It was just before last Christmas and I thought we could do with a cheerful song, but didn’t get to record it. Seems like we could still do with a cheerful song, so here it is…still makes me smile!”

Brinsley Schwarz London, UK

Remembered for their iconic performances and forging the foundations of London’s pub-rock scene, the Brinsleys brewed up a storm throughout the early 70s, with opening slots for the likes of Paul McCartney
