The Essential Advent Calendar: December 1

The Essential Advent Calendar: December 1 – A Very Cherry Christmas Volume 14

It seems impossible but here it is. December 1, which of course means we open the first door of the season on the Essentially Pop Advent Calendar. Number one is ‘A Very Cherry Christmas Volume 14’, from Cherryade Records. With 26 tracks on the compilation album we could pretty much get away with just featuring a track per day from this, but we won’t be lazy and we’ll give everyone a chance.

The album features Essentially Pop faves, John Dredge and The Plinths, with their song, ‘Christmas Time Is Here’, so we’ll let John tell you a bit more about it:

‘A Very Cherry Christmas Volume 14’ is available from their Bandcamp page here.

The 26-track CD comes in a plastic wallet sleeve, with full colour artwork printed on the CD itself, and ships from 22 November.

‘A Very Cherry Christmas 14’ was compiled by Rachael Neiman-Wiseman and Gareth Jones, with cover art by Bill Vine.

About the author

There’s a lot of music out there - good music. At Essentially Pop our remit is that we cover music that deserves to be heard, with a particular focus on independent artists. That doesn't mean we won't cover your old favourites - rather we hope to give you some new favourites as well.

We no longer accept unpaid PR agency work. We believe the creative arts have value, and this includes writing. As always, we will write about artists who contact us - or who we contact - for free - but we can no longer work free of charge for PR agencies. We work hard, we put in a lot of hours writing, and we ask that you respect that. Contact us for our very reasonable rates.
