Title: Chris's Christmas Carol
Post by: PLW (Peter) on December 13, 2006, 02:05:31 PM
In the festive spirit, you can hear our very own Chris Leslie playing a variety of Christmassy tunes in the new Radio 2 production of Dickens's A Christmas Carol next week. You'll never hear "God Rest Ye" sounding more sinister, I promise you.

It's read by Shane Richie (yes, Shane Richie), and it's in seven parts, Mon-Thurs 18-21, 10pm and 11.45pm. And if you can't stay up that late, it'll be on Listen Again.

End of plug.
