The Christmas Rock-tac-ular 2012

Ewan Spence — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 10:30:00 +0000

It’s been a bit of an up-and-down year, mostly down, but the end is nearly here, so it’s time to gather friends and family around for the festive period. It also means sitting down with the traditional Christmas Rock-tac-ular here on The Rock Show. The usual mix of festive favourites, new traditions, returning artists, … and all of them fit the ‘unsigned, unknown, and unmissable’ ethos of the Rock Show, but with a festive twist.

Oh yes, and… it’s Christtmmmaaaaaaassssssss!

It’s all rock this week, as usual, but it’s not all-out attack. The music this week is a little slower, but just as powerful as other tracks we’ve had on the show. Perfect for enjoying the heat over a long summery weekend… if the weather holds up!
