"This Christmas Time", written by Prof. Sir Chris, is inspired by the heroism and letters home from World War 1 British soldiers at Christmas.
“It’s an honour and a delight to be asked to play on this record… I mean, what’s not to like? My favourite recording studio, the opportunity to work with great artists on a wonderful track - and for the most worthy cause… Oh, and complimentary lunch in the Abbey Road canteen!” - Nick Mason
“I was delighted to join the many artists adding their voice to the album from Evamore. I recorded a full narrative, telling the story of some incredibly brave World War 1 soldiers, to feature on the album in 2023 and a short christmas message for This Christmas Time.” - Noddy Holder
The song is available to play now on The Cancer Platform website. Listen and get more information here.
