Last Minute Christmas List

Neil Brogan likes making songs, it says on his Bandcamp page. Christmas songs, too. I am not that familiair with his band Sea Pinks, but Neil's seasonal tracks kicked of with the covid-year-diary-album Weird Year, and the song It's Christmas with a Difference. About, well, Christmas during covid. Every year, a new track/tracks followed, with 'Christmas with a small c' from 2022 being labeled as a future classic.

Same can be said of this uptempo C86-y, anti-materialistic Christmas song. Love how his cool voice drifts on the jittery guitars. Proceeds go to Simon Community (who work with homeless people) and Oxfam Gaza Lebanon-appeal.
On the b-side, there's a tender acoustic song, inspired by children's book illustrator Shirley Hughes.
Here are more of Neil's seasonal songs:
