Radio 2: Reverend Kate Bottley’s Christmas Carols

Available for 11 days

The Reverend Kate Bottley hosts a joyful selection of many of our most popular Christmas Carols including tracks by Johnny Cash, Elvis, Taylor Swift, Dolly Parton, Annie Lennox and the Choir of King's College, Cambridge. A special soulful and upbeat recording of The Holly and the Ivy is performed by Lauren Housley and the Northern Cowboys and Sam Evans, who sings a simple acoustic version of Go Tell It On The Mountain. Kate Rusby's Sweet Bells features as one of our most ancient carols while gospel star Sarah Téibo sings a relatively recent composition, Norwegian Pine, a tribute to the friendship between Norway and the UK and the gift of the Trafalgar Square Christmas Tree. Carrie Underwood is joined by her young son Isaiah on a beautiful duet of Little Drummer Boy. Other tracks include Joy To The World, Oh Little Town of Bethlehem, We Three Kings, I Saw Three Ships, Silent Night, Oh Holy Night, While Shepherds Watched, Oh Come All Ye Faithful and more.
