THE RETROSPECTIVE SOUNDTRACK PLAYERS present…..
‘It’s a Wonderful Christmas Carol’ OUT NOW on Xtra Mile Recordings,

Following the release of The Retrospective Soundtrack Players beautifully festive new album ‘It’s A Wonderful Christmas Carol’ – the band unveil this feel-good video to the track ‘Christmas Day’.


The video was filmed at their recent album launch show at London’s Monarch venue which was a night of merriment with friends and drinking and singing and all those warm, fuzzy, Christmassy feelings so special to this time of year.
They’re further spreading their Christmas joy with a small run of gigs in the coming weeks including an extra special homecoming gig in Portsmouth.

You can catch them at the following places:
07/12 - Portsmouth Square Tower
12/12 - Manchester Star & Garter

‘Christmas Day’ is taken from TRSP’s recent album It’s a Wonderful Christmas Carol – the third album from the UK’s foremost (or only) purveyors of concept-folk-pop. It borrows themes of loneliness, greed, poverty and eventual redemption from the classic works of Dickens and Capra, weaving them into a new collection of festive songs that showcase the band’s unique voice. It’s A Wonderful Christmas Carol features guest appearances from several artists from the Xtra Mile stable – namely Frank Turner, Ben Marwood and Chris T-T.

It’s available now on digital, CD and limited edition red vinyl also via Xtra Mile / Pie & Vinyl Records
