If you haven't found your festive cheer yet then let us lend a hand with help from our good friend Miles Copeland of Wonderfulsound. The Soho Radio DJ and neighbour of our Bloomsbury stores has once again put together a special 'Sounds Like Christmas' playlist after the classic he gifted us last year.
Here is Miles to tell you more...

"Around Christmas time I have always worked on projects providing playlists or mixes or general background vibes to represent the Sound of Christmas. I even created a Xmas winter scene inside a pine tree-decorated lift once!! I noticed imaginative Christmas music playlists were few and far between. Around the same time I was in a band called The Superimposers and we had a single that people used to tell us sounded like Christmas… it wasn’t a Christmas song but it had something about it and the 'Sounds like Christmas' project was stumbled upon!
"Personally I love Christmas music, whether it’s Phil Spector’s ‘A Christmas Gift For You’ or Paul McCartney’s crazy ‘Wonderful Christmastime’ (have you ever actually listened to that record properly? Macca at his demo/experimentalist best) and the Pogues and Kirsty MacColl is perfect which of course is not a Christmas song!
"Each year on my Radio show, The Wonderfulsound Libraries for Soho Radio I present a 'Sounds Like Christmas Special' - 2 hours of music that sounds like Christmas. It's bringing out all those sensations we want at this time - joy, reflective moments and good times - only without hearing those same old obvious tunes!
