On Saturday I went christmas shopping down Oxford street (little bit busy) and was overjoyed at the number and variety of buskers and bands lining the street. I passed a fantastic steel pan band which instantly made me think of my Martini advert, they were playing christmas songs with a Caribbean lilt that made me want to spend christmas in Trinidad!
We then passed a saxophonist, a trumpeter, a guitarist, 2 choirs and a man singing into a traffic cone. I love all the different ways of sharing music that have developed and I hope the performer's made a pretty penny in the process! (hypocritically, I am a skint student so did not have available funds to share with these admirable players)
All this put me in the mood for christmas songs so when I got home I dug out the christmas song book and started bashing out tunes on the piano :-) Every year I say I will write a platinum-selling christmas song but I am yet to get round to it!
