Elis and John's Alternative Christmas Playlist
Elis and John's Alternative Christmas Playlist offers a varied and unique collection of songs that you won't have heard in ages.
From Half Man Half Biscuit's ode to a cynical Christmas, to Julian Casablancas's unrealistic and - to be quite frank - short-sighted aspirations for the holiday season, sit back as Elis and John talk you through a sleigh-load of indie gems, festive covers and under-the-radar anthems that are sure to become your new favourite festive bangers.
