Christmas Song Advent Calendar 2017: Day 14

~ Alex the Pensmith

  • ARTIST: Mike Oldfield
  • SONG: In Dulci Jubilo
  • ALBUM: Elements – The Best of Mike Oldfield (1975, Virgin)

Yes, I do realise that festive snow-y town image isn’t one of Mike Oldfield, but that’s partly because I couldn’t find a flattering one of him. His instrumental, nay almost Celtic take on the classic carol that dates back to the 14th century is nothing short of joyous. And also, in our household, made for a thoroughly entertaining air-panpipe rendition of this. Yes, there is such a thing, and no you are not allowed to question it readers.

Don’t forget to follow our Spotify playlist to ensure you’re getting all the songs each day in the run up to Christmas!
