about

Recorded in The Dolphin Pub, St. Denys, Southampton, by the elusive, enigmatic Snowballz boys, this track has laid dormant for decades. A tub-thumping, glam-rock, festive barnstormer. A Christmas Number One that never was.

This track may (or may not) contain performances by actual charting rock/pop personalities.
