Information

Written in 1986 for the Cardiff Festival of Music as pre-concert entertainment in the foyer of St David's Hall, Cardiff.

Traditional Christmas music is combined, re-harmonised and given a twist as in the mixing of a cocktail. Sometimes, the bartender may have sampled a little too much of the product!
