Duo John and Lewis have brought in special guests to add even more Christmas cheer and joy.

It will feature Yorkshire’s own folk writer and raconteur Ray Hearne, the amazing voices of tenor Gareth Lloyd and Janine Dyer, crooner Paul Pashley, all backed by members of The Acoustic Angels with Steve Beighton on Saxophone and flute.

Little Sam Lyons is also joining John for one song.

“Due to new Covid Tier levels, the live Christmas Festivals of Music at Victoria Hall had to be cancelled. We were very upset and disappointed but also determined not to give up,” said John and Lewis, in a joint statement.

“We decided to film the concert in high definition with all the guests and make a private YouTube Christmas special that music fans can watch in the comfort of their own home, at any time.

"A ticket gives an exclusive YouTube link that you can scan to your TV screen to watch at home at your leisure.”
