Tom Watt's Alternative Christmas Show

BBC Radio 1

Thu 24^th Dec 1987, 19:00 on BBC Radio 1 England

Sick and tired of hearing the same old Christmas records all the time? Need a break from
Wizzard and Wham!, Slade and Spector? Then this is the place to be. Tonight Tom Watt plays two solid hours of rare and wonderful soul Christmas records from names like Joe Tex , Carla Thomas ,
Solomon Burke , Ike and Tina,
Otis Redding and Freddie King. Plus there's Christmas rock 'n' roll, doo wop and reggae, much of it on British radio for the first time. Producer MIKE HAWKES
