New Christmas Show - Plus Irish dates


The December 21st JY & The Athletes show at the Luminaire has SOLD OUT which is exciting.

To celebrate, we’ve added another show, on Dec 20th, at The Luminaire. I’ll be playing this other show solo. The special guest on both nights will be Kathryn Williams.

Now, mind the 21st is Fancy Dress? Well, the 20th isn’t.

    Any chance of your excellent Christmas track appearing again this festive season? Would really like to get hold of a copy to add to my JY collection … anyway all the best for the holiday season. Cheers.

    Thanks Winston, I was just thinking about it too. JY was kind enough to post ‘Sing Noel’ after my request last year. I don’t remember a single lyric, but I can still hear the beautiful, slightly-drunken melody. The slightly-drunken part could be me. JY, anything you can tell us about the origin of that song?

    Hello,
    I think the pair of you are nuts, that song is very odd indeed. I’ll try and remember to post it on Myspace for December.
    I can’t really remember writing it to be honest, but almost every line is a pun or an in-joke with someone or another.
    Every year I think - ah, I’ll record that properly - but I never do.
    JY

    Hi Chris,

    I’ll post the track listings up in a day or so, once I get some time to switch on the very big and very slow computer upstairs in my studio. I think if you have iTunes the names of the tracks should automatically appear? Glad you’re enjoying it though and the show also.

    Best,

    JY
