Christmas Carols with the Reverend Kate Bottley

A joyful selection of popular Christmas Carols, including tracks by Johnny Cash, Elvis, Taylor Swift, Dolly Parton, Annie Lennox and the Choir of King's College Cambridge.

The Reverend Kate Bottley hosts a joyful selection of many of our most popular Christmas Carols, including tracks by Johnny Cash, Elvis, Taylor Swift, Dolly Parton, Annie Lennox and the Choir of King's College Cambridge.

A special recorded soulful and upbeat recording of the Holly and the Ivy is performed by Lauren Housley and the Northern Cowboys and Sam Evans, who hit the headlines in the summer after winning a set at Glastonbury sings a simple acoustic version of Go Tell It On The Mountain.

Kate Rusby's Sweet Bells features as one of our most ancient carols, while gospel star Sarah Teibo sings a relatively recent composition, Norwegian Pine, a tribute to the friendship between Norway and the UK and the gift of the Trafalgar Square Christmas Tree. Carrie Underwood is joined by her young son Isaiah on a beautiful duet of Little Drummer Boy.

Other tracks include Joy To The World, Oh Little Town of Bethlehem, We Three Kings, I Saw Three Ships, Silent Night, Oh Holy Night, While Shepherd's Watched, Oh Come All Ye Faithful and more.
