Lonely This Christmas. Cover of Mud for Yulefest

[ODH]

Last Christmas (not the song), I asked for banjolele. I'm ashamed to admit I've never really used it.  So I decided to give it a whirl for a Christmas song.

I never really intended to do this one, but it captured my imagination.

Mud were a UK 70's kind of rock'n'roll / cabaret band, if you don't know them

FAN-TAS_TIC - I love a Christmas song.

It was brilliant all the way through but the ending was just priceless!

Merry Christmas.

[Greeny]

An all-time Christmas classic, with Mud trying to do an 'Elvis'. This is a fab cover, and the banjolele really works. The spoken part is damn cool, and a nice little nod to Mr P at the end :-)

Brilliant.

It's great to hear a musician, who I already respected greatly, take to an instrument that I love so much so well. This is really nice, I love my banjolele but it's often hard to find the right place for it. Great tool for your growing Arsenal. Nicely done Nick.
Rock on brother!

[Farrell Jackson]

The banjolele works great in this song! I dig the nostalgic chord progression in this song. Well done on all accounts ODH!

Excellent, you had a good idea to give a chance to your banjolele the sound of the arpeggio is crystalline and goes well in the context.
nice work

I take this opportunity to make an auto bump, which I hope you'll listen to, where I use an authentic Gibson banjolelele from 1920,...it's the only vintage instrument I've ever played (actually it's my daughter's).

Nice one Nick... Alex

[StephenM]

just beautiful.... such a nice song and well played.

Brilliant! Reminded me of watching this on TOTP when I was a teenager (yes I am that old). Great version, you finally did that banjolele justice. And about time....
