The Christmas Covers Party!

Event information

Hush the Many + The Grave Architects + The Chemistry Experiment + Gold Sounds + After the Fox + Git

A few years ago Nottingham promoters Whycan'twejustallgetalong? decided to get all their friends’ bands to play a Christmas party. As there were a lot of them, and to make it a bit more interesting, they asked the bands to only play cover versions and to limit their sets to 2 or 3 songs. They christened it “The Christmas Covers Party”. Well, you would, wouldn’t you? There are no headliners - the music has a gradual gradient from 'less party earlier to more party later' – and the bands don't tell anyone what they are going to play. Over the years all sorts of red herrings have been planted to throw covers detectives off track. Every year someone suggests doing "Do they know it's Christmas Time?". No one has attempted it. Yet.

The night has always been in Nottingham, however this year is the first in London. This is because James has moved to London, he organises it and it's his favourite night of the year.
