For the holiday season. Symphony North - The Bell Ringer. I listen on YouTube.

Recorded during lockdown, there are two versions:

 

Full band playthrough:

 

 

or the version I prefer…

Full band play through with story narration between songs to tell the full concept:

 

 

While not flashy like Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s live shows, the approach is the same. A Christmas-themed tale with rock music, including both original rock songs and classic Christmas carols done in a rock style.

 

While a rock album, like T-SO it is very musical theater in approach. I definitely enjoy it at Christmas.

Definitely time for Sir Patrick Stewart reading A Christmas Carol to take center stage.

Am I the only one that gets a bit sad to see the holiday lights disappear from the GottaDeal banner every year?
