Fantastic!
I used this for a KS2 Christmas Carol service. It was fantastic. The songs were easy to learn, and the backing tracks were brilliant. The children loved The Little Drummer boy. nWe had rave reviews from parents about how fantastic the songs were. I will definitely use this again!
Beautifully arranged
I have never seen a collection of such beautiful Christmas carol arrangements all in one wonderfully-sized place. A very inspiring publication when trying to orchestrate your own version of carols! The backing tracks are just superb and really create a sense of Christmas throughout. Congratulations yet again, and thank you.
