Xmas Party tunes…..It’s that time of year again when Xmas tunes are put on auto repeat by most radio stations and shops across the country. No song is played more than The Pogues feat. Kirsty MacColl “Fairytale of New York.”
I have put together a list of the tunes that get the most airplay according to the PRS.
I wonder when we will start to hear them being played?? and which I will be requested to play at one of my parties.
For something a bit cooler have a look at my Cool Yule post.
Or even better book me as your Christmas Party DJ or even for your Christmas Wedding

Ibiza in video
High lights from my many trips to Ibiza, last year I made 9 trips during the season..... so many great memories. Be it playing or DJing at venues such as Pikes, Es-Vive, The Beach Star etc or for an intimate party on a remote part of the island, I really get a lot of inspiration and feed that back into my music that I play. I have the experience of having worked in Ibiza many times in all sorts of events and have a very close tie with a lot of the DJ's there. Should you want it, I can bring this vibe to your event.....

Mixcloud in Lockdown
